Some one must click on this shite or they would stop doing it and try some other way to infect your computer.
Yep it came into my spam folder but my work junk filtering is a little twitchy

It seems to put all emails from a certain colleague in there too.

Mind you it's not far wrong !!!

I get no spam. Draytek sees to that.

To answer the original question, yes, people are that stupid.

When I orked at the CHC in the late 90s, people in the UK were being targeted by a postal scam then being run out of Toronto. You've won etc, just send a processing fee...........

We at the High Commission got the fallout. Some of these dorks had fallen for it more than once.

I wonder if they'd have more success if the amounts of money were a tad more realistic.

I remember reading correspondence where a guy was stringing them along. Very very funny. I think it's in a book somewhere, very like Henry Root.
