I suppose this is just the latest trend (fad) to make money at the expense to hard-earned dollars. Sad but true but to stay informed is to stay armed against this latest internet aggression to "get rich quickly without doing much of anything". All you need to do is lay open all of your private and personal financial information for folks to take advantage of. Here is an email from the Internation Remittance Department, Corporate Head Quarters Tinubu Square, Lagos, Nigeria promising big bucks for information:

This is sad but what is really important for us to see as consumers is that a lot of these addresses are being made through Yahoo accounts. I'm not sure that there is a connection between the two but clearly Yahoo isn't monitoring many of its user accounts.
