I received an email today saying I won a lottery from pepsi that I did not enter.  I can't believe this.  The email had no pepsi logo on it at all.  Just like a blank piece of paper.  They wanted me to give them a bunch of personal information that I did not provide.  This is such an outrage.  I receive phishing emails all the time and I am so tired of it.  WHY CAN'T SOMETHING BE DONE ABOUT IT?  These people need to be prosecuted for fraud.  I suppose since this all happens on the internet that people can get away with it.  Lawmakers need to come up with a specific set of laws designed to apply to the internet exclusively.  I have a folder I set up in my emal and I have 75 emails I have received that are all scams.  I would really be happy to share them with some law enforcement agency that would look at them seriously and investigate.  It is one thing to fall for a scam from an actual person that you are in contact with in person, but this phishing thing is the most low down thing I have ever seen in my 41 years.  Actually, the internet predators are the most low down but that is an entirely different subject.  Does anyone know where we can get something done about all of the fradulant emails asking for bank information, social security numbers, and so on?
