I am sure it is very common to receive unsolicited email. We call that spam mail. However, how common is it to receive a spam mail from someone, which you trashed and did not respond to, only to have the same person email you, asking if you have received his email yesterday and stating the fact that he did not receive a reply from you.

Of course, in his eyes, his email isn’t a spam mail but to me, it was unsolicited, it was spam. And you know how I treat emails like that! Anyway, the second spam mail received the same treatment from me, that is to trash it, and I have still not heard from him for a third time. I would not be surprised if he wrote to me again asking if I did receive his second email. LOL

Have you had this experience before? I hope that all spammers are not as persistent; otherwise, I can only imagine that my inbox will be flooded with double spam!

This morning, I received an email purportedly from MSN telling me to upgrade to Internet Explorer 7. HHmmm I am always weary when I received unsolicited email like these, you know?

Anyway, I think that this person who wanted to spread a virus, yes, the link provided for the IE 7 upgrade actually ends with the extension .exe, is rather stupid for making an amateur HTML email. LOL

I think that if he wanted the effect that would cause us to click on the link and download IE7, at least make an effort to copy the emails that come from Windows Live.

If you received a similar email telling you that you should upgrade to IE7, be careful and do not click on the link. Just delete the email! I am sure you would not want your computer to be infected with some malicious virus!!

I believe that I am not the only person receiving weird spam email lately. It seems like the trend now to receive spam email with subjects like “top new” from CNN, BBC or whatever leading media sites.

I didn’t even bother to open the email to read but there was one very funny spam mail about a fat Chinese guy who killed and ate his brother because he was hungry. That is just too funny.

I bet that if I had opened these spam email purportedly carrying the latest headline news to my email, I would be bombarded with some pharmaceutical products.

Have you received any such spam emails? Tell me I am not the only one. My father even received some that has the subject title “You are stupid!!!” That is too funny!
