It would probably be someone who's not expecting a package to be shipped to them from Europe...

Jane Parsley is a customs worker in Spain?

Wow.

That sounds like a proper Castilan name. None of that Juana Paresil nonsense.
 
You'd have to be too old to know better, or just plain dumb, to get taken by those.
 
I got the same e-mail. I had somebody take a picture of me New Years' morning and sent it to them to confirm that I'm dead.
 
yup..nothing new under the sun..

easy money from cross-international boundary criminals, who cannot be effectively criminally prosecuted when convicted.

Just like nigeria 411 scams, or most recently lonely british women who fell for marriage in banana republic (only to be murdered or married for the sake of citizenship, etc.)

as the world gets smaller thanks to internet, crimes becomes more closer than you think.

Q.
 
all this junk mail i get, goes directly to [email protected] [email protected] as well as spamcop.net.

Knujon works with the hosting providers to get the criminal accounts shut down.

419scams.org I think is primarily "proactive" - they only use the submitted spam to aide their software in stopping the spam from reaching their customers.

And spamcop mails abuse reports to the "Hosting providers" who allowed the spam e-mail to pass through their network.
