You would be surprised, most people that only have basic internet skills fall for this stuff all the time.

the first sentance makes it obvious its a scam:

"Win the best car Viper SRT-10 offered by eBay.com "

[Jokez Guy]

Thx for your warning, these people should be locked up! They cause a lot of trouble.

Soon their will be ways to do such stuff. I personally hate spam and virus emails. It annoys me but because I only have a few people that email most times i'm alright.
