This is the key. ALL legitimate e-mails will use your username/name.

In 99% of cases e-mails which don't address you by name and which want info from you will be fraudulant :)

Dear Poster,

My name is Abdul Freshfish That is completely true what you just said, well done. If you can donate for the cause of my sick family the grace of god will be upon you.

Yours Sincerely,

Fred

Sorry for my late reply SproutingBean but I have been tending to my sick family, they are the ill. I pray for your money to come soon as I feel death is knocking at their door of house.

Visit my online store if you wish to purchase many good products of god, such as the new iPod Mini cooper yes good price?

Yours fondly,

james t. kirk
