internet scams Question And Answer
Do you know how internet scams work?
It almost seems like when you sell an item, they put you on like an internet - all - call and send you the same message over and over. Usually it is the one where they say that they are in Africa and they want to transfer the money via pay pal. They always say they will pay more than what you're asking too.
I just want to know how they send everyone the same message and I would also like to know how Yahoo Mail knows what emails to put in your bulk inbox.

It's called spam, they send out thousands of messages in hopes of a few responses.
They are hackers - they access your computers without you knowing it. Then they get the e-mail address from your contacts.
Along with other e-mail addresses harvested they send these ( solicitation / spam ) e-mails.
Suggest you use anti-spyware software.
There's actually programs for sale that advertise 'send your message to millions of people in a few seconds' I think that site also was advertising pop-up software that 'can't be closed' I want sites like that taken down.
