    Yeah, but mine coming in the form of greeting cards from friend, classmate, etc. Never any name, just unknown email addy.   Bellsouth, my ISP is the good guy in this case. Says it contains a worm.

     I just got 2 emails one says it is from the British lottery and the second is from the Irish lottery, saying I have won, but I have never bought a lottery ticket from either of these two organizations.  Also they want a fee to transfer funds and my banking info.  the British one wants 799.99 GBP for "cost of transfer "is what they call it. Just be very careful out there

    Thanks for info.  Best bet is dump them.  They are scammers searching for your info both personal and financial.
