Man I hate scammers ...

That's why I hover my pointer over all emails before I even attempt to click them ...

If I don't recognize the sender ... then I delete them.

Lol ... funny story ...

I got an email message from the FBI the other day ... they said I was going to arrested, but some guy from Maylasia said he could help if I sent him $500.00 dollars.

Lol ... F*ck him !

Scammers will try anything to scare money from anyone !

You need to use whatismyipaddress this traces ip addresses, email and more, also turn off HTML and images in your email client by default, you can turn them on per email manually or set trusted users and friends. Thunderbird does it all and blocks adverts, tells you the current email might be a scam etc... and uses Firefox plugins.

PS never go to mozilla.com always go to mozilla.org
