    In Response to Re: WARNING WARNING : In the interest of "healthy discussion" is there any evidence whatsoever that such a scam e-mail exists? If so, what does it look like? Also, what are the negative effects of reading the mail? Was the scam e-mail forwarded to Customer Care? Has anyone else received such an e-mail?

    hello vince,

    to me, there are three categories that email scams fall into.

    attachments.  shouldn't be downloaded unless you know the sender, expecting the attachments and have up-to-date antivirus checking software installed.

    links to webpages.  don't click on them.  if you really want to, find the website independently, not using the link

    doom approaching.  these are the funniest as the email says something horrible is on its way, and quick, tell everyone to forewarn them of the horrors soon to arrive, email all your friends.  the exponentially increasing number of emails generated as a result can crash servers.  just simply delete.  if doom arrives just "duck and cover"

    Indeed.
    There's always the Nigerian bank manager to consider, too.

    I just wondered what category of e-mail the OP was referring to - there appears to be a lack of detail in his post.
    The more cynical amongst us might think that he was just scare-mongering out of some delusion that it would discourage people from opening genuine promotional e-mails from Sky Poker.
