I have had a couple of similar ones such as “Regarding your order” and “Order Status Update” recently from a few sites. I dont know why they think it will work, hell it might increase the open rate, but I bet it increases their unsubscribe/spam rate a lot more!

I guess that people don’t realize that by trying to fool others they just loose the potential clients or viewers. Instead just thinking about the new great way for a scam they should just invent some useful method for getting a new readers to their sites.

Never did get the point of trying to fool people. They will no what it is as soon as they open it and probably upset them more.

I am too a victim of such mails.These emails may appear to be from legitimate companies like eBay, PayPal or a bank. They may well look very real since they often use the logos of the companies they are pretending to be. They will very often say something is amiss with your account and you need to provide additional personal information or security verification. Don’t be fooled.Do not respond to these emails and do not click on any links in the body of the email message.

I get these all the time too – so irritating! And I agree, what’s the point in the Hotmail ‘Junk’ option getting rid of that particular email but letting more of the same in? There must be a better way of getting rid of them for good…?

I get the same email all the time from different companies requesting I check out their product. Most of them can’t talk english and start their letters

Your example was great. Of course, “phishing” emails are there to try to get your personal information. Malicious emails are sent with the hope you’ll open them and infect your computer with some horrendous virus or another.

But these phony, “official sounding” emails are ridiculous. So I open it… big deal. Either I’m interested or I’m not. If I’m not, I am not going to buy whatever junk you’re selling, anyway. And if I am interested, you may as well use an accurate subject line; I’m likely to open it BECAUSE I’m already interested.

Yes I have received the exact support request email. I know I have not emailed support so I do not open them. I must be on someone’s opt in news list with some of these spam email campaign signs that don’t allow opt outs. I get the same email all the time from different companies requesting I check out their product. Who on earth is going to buy a product from a sham company awho believes in sending spam emails. Honestly they are just stupid. What a waste.

Unfortunately I have had a lot of emails sent like this. It does make me laugh. My personal hate is the nigerian scams. Most of them can’t talk english and start their letters of like “Your email has been awarded… Microsoft/Yahoo Competition… Action required for your inheritance” lol I use Hotmail. I just wish when I press Junk it destroys any further communication from that email.
