Some "Spam" Notices I Received Supposedly From Google & Gmail....Sigh....

Copy-pasted below are dubious messages supposedly from Google, and Gmail. I just wonder what kind of pleasure do people who are into these things derive from sending out messages like these....hmmmm, the travails of having an online presence these days...well, what else can I say?

I got it too...
How do you know it isn't real

hi, evan
i've seen, received a lot of similar messages. i even got to the extent of accepting the friendship of a woman who sounded like a mother on the fone. after some exchanges, she turned out to be a fraud again, complete with all the works.....well, i'd be interested to actually see the huge of pile of money lying somewhere....tell me if you find out something more about the money---it surely would be a very interesting write up material...Jerome
