I got an e-mail this morning through HubPages email, about someone who has a whole bunch of money and is dying. She wants me to administer her late husband's fortune.
Now I have seen these before-- and know enough to not reply. I'm sure you know too, but thought I'd mention it here. I forwarded it to team HubPages.
The interesting thing about it is that, though written under a fictitious name-- the HP screen name also appears in the header. This 'hubber' apparently signed up about 5 hours ago to target hub-writers.
I'll bet I'm not the only lucky one. Did you get this splendid offer?
The email, which comes via the HubPages system, has a couple of links down the bottom "spam" and "abuse". Just click on "spam" and it will open a page at HubPages and automagically flag the offender.
I've had two or three of this type of email in the past week. I just flagged them, but I hope everyone here is sensible enough not to fall for them.
I haven't received anything so far...hmm... feeling a bit slighted now...
No I haven't received this one, but I get several a day like it anyway in my work email account, as the email address is displayed on my hypnotherapy website.
I am always, of course, flattered to be the only one chosen out of millions of possible recipients to be given the chance to launder these mythical millions for them!
I used to participate in e-lottery MLM. I quit after a year,but... I get almost every day all kinds of nu-u-u-merous emails about winning 1 mil, 2 mil, 10 mil. Depends on authors's fantasy. I think from all over the world. If it were true, just a part of it! All I need just a lousy half-a-million, to be quite comfortable in life. I have very modest habits. I don't even drink coffee!!! Speaking seriously - I damped one of my email boxes. But it's useless, I still get those.
JUST DO NOT READ THIS STUFF! DELETE! You can catch a virus just by opening your email.

Has anyone received hateful or derogatory email from another hubber? What did you do? I woke up with one this morning, while it is perfectly just to disagree with one's view on a subject, I don't believe it needed to be taken as far as "this hubber" did. Yes, I reported it to...

For the last two days I have not received any emails from hubpages with new hubs by hubbers that I follow. Is this happening to anyone else? If so why? I've noticed a big decline in views the last couple of days and my new hubs have virtually no views. I'm wondering if this...

I joined on HubPages 4 weeks back. I am enjoying being on HubPages and meeting many great fellow hubbers everyday. Yesterday when I was checking my emails, surprisingly I found an email from a reader about one of my hub, saying thanks.He said "This is excellent information that I haven't been...

I’m wondering if emails from HubPages are being lost. I confirmed that I have all notification settings set to “Always” for “Instant Email” and “Allow HubPages to contact you” is enabled.1. Whenever I get a new follower I don’t get the email notification as I used to in the past. Just got one...

I recently received an email from The Arena Group/Maven. They said they were keeping PetHelpful and DenGarden, while moving others back to Discover. (I don't know how many or which others.) They're offering some kind of deal to write for them and be paid upfront, and asked me to meet with them...
