Does anyone actually fall for such blatant fishing scams?

Seems to me that anyone who can't see through this shouldn't use the internet at all. "All Right Reserve." Confused

I've received several of these over the past Couple of years and they came from people with Mediacom Email addresses. My Isp is mediacom and I would forward these on to Mediacom Security, a cable company and it didn't appear to have done much good. The Same people with the same addresses kept sending this Junk. It would appear that a Bogus Email with a Mediacom Address could be acted on by Mediacom, especially if it was reported several times. It would seem logical that these individuals could be tracked down.

I report all spam to SpamCop, which reports it with authority to the people in charge of the ISP responsible for allowing it. ISPs that refuse to stop spammers get blacklisted and their customers will find all emails are bouncing after a while.
