Changing of emails of sender Mar 15, 2011

In recent years there is vast majority of emails received using this system.

The issue is based on a email's characteristic.
Using malicious email mass sender they gather a list of emails possibly using any kind of malicious softwares like viruses, trojans, mass mailers and so on.

So, when ever you open one email do check the name and email address if they do correspond

Wow! It's incredible what I hear. about this company or scam ... I've found just the net and even wanted such a job ... so simple ... but still so easy to take your good money ... I need money for college, taxes etc ... They say Romans needed. But even before I saw your post. And the guy in India has helped me enormously. As he happened not even seen the money ... sucks ... The irony is that I was going to pay that money these days, so thank you very much for all that you have warned me.
