>>> Hey, speaking of SPAM... :-)

>>> I just got 3 new 'African Gov't has $12 million' spams today.
>>> I can't believe that people are still pulling that old crap.

>>That's not really spam per se, but a fairly well-known scam that can be run
>>not only via e-mail, but also via snail mail and FAX.

> Sure it is! It's scam spam! :-)
>From another source:
> Ordinary UCE I send to the FTC:
>
> "Federal Trade Commission Fraud Investigations" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
>
> Medical fraud ("lose weight!" "Drugs!") goes to the FDA:
>
> "Food and Drug Administration Medical Fraud Department"
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
>
> (There's actually a different address for medical device fraud,
> "[EMAIL PROTECTED]," but I rarely use it.)
>
> Financial spam goes to the SEC ("Make Money Fast", stock pump-and-dump
> (which I note in my comments), mortagage touts, etc.):
>
> "Securities and Exchange Comission" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
>
> Finally, the Nigerian Scam and its variants ("I'm the heir of the Queen
> of Africa...") goes to the special Secret Service task force (if you
> send this one to the SEC, they'll tell you to send it to the Secret Service):
>
> Secret Service Special Investigation Unit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
>
> Finally, please note that I sometimes combine these (except the Secret
> Service ones). All spam goes to the FTC; if they are additionally
> medical scams, they go to the FDA.
