I get phishing emails on a very regular basis, sometimes I feel like a magnet. I report some while I just delete others. It pains me that these people are so talented and they waste their time cheating people.

One thing I can say is that talent is not everything these days. The problem arises because of overcompetition...too many people, not enough jobs. There could also be cases of people phishing when they get laid off or fired for whatsoever reason.

I am just thinking if the person is that talented where they can design a website and set up codes to divert sales from other persons website and also program things to their benefit, chances are they should be able to make a decent living online.

I've seen a huge rise in the past two weeks for some reason. I was thinking that someone sold a list with my email on it or something. I suppose I should feel flattered that upon winning the million pounds in the Euro-Lotto that the prince of Nigeria and the prime minister of some other country wanted to send me money too...rofl!

What I find hard to believe is that people all over the net are still falling for these tricks, no matter how many times and ways they are told that they are scams etc.
