Make Money Fast
The Internet has turned out to be a great equalizer. You are likely to find friends on the Internet from all walks of life, but occasionally you may run into someone offering you the "deal of the century".  
Unfortunately there are as many people trying to rip you off on the Internet as in the real world. Remember the old adage, “If the deal sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't true!”. You will get offers like this via your email. Not many, but enough to be annoying at times. My suggestion is simple. Forward the email back to the administrator of the system from which it came.

For example let’s say you get unsolicited email from account "hotdeal@anysite.com". The best approach would be to respond to the email in this manner.  
"TO: hotdeal@anysite.com  
CC: admin@anysite.com, postmaster@anysite.com, root@anysite.com, sysop@anysite.com  
Subject: Spamming  
Sirs,  
I do not appreciate receiving unsolicited emails of this nature. Please remove me from your list immediately!"

Note the "CC:" field. In that field I have included some of the most commonly used names by the system owner from which the email originated. Most system administrators are adamantly against people abusing their system and they regard sending unsolicited email as an abuse. The idea here is simple. By sending a reply you are asking to be removed from their list, and alerting the owners of the system to a probable violation of their own rules.  
This problem has gotten so bad that on some of the larger ISP's, they have built a complaint department for handling such complaints, and violators are thrown off the system.  
For those of you who use web-based mail accounts such as Hotmail I suggest that you log on and go to the options page and turn on the option that protects you from receiving junk mail or spam. It diverts all junk mail to a separate folder that can be quickly deleted and which does not waste your time or interfere in your normal mailing process.

Risk Bad Luck
Have you ever gotten e-mail that asks you to forward it to ten other people or risk bad luck. Chances are that you have received such e-mail at some time or the other and possibly quite a few times too. The senders of such mail aim to reach as many people as possible by preying upon your insecurities, after all who would want to risk some bad luck just because of e-mail!

I strongly suggest you take no heed of the bad luck factor no matter how superstitious your outlook toward life. If someone you know has forwarded you the e-mail you could write back saying how you would rather not receive such forwards in the future. Doing this could end up saving you some valuable time and bring you a little peace of mind.

Web Page Promotions
This is addressed to the folks that have or plan to have web pages for business purposes. Very often you will receive email from a company claiming to be able to help boost your site traffic. Below is a typical email like this:
"Hi There! 
I just finished visiting your web-site, very well done! 
I couldn't help but notice that your hit counter seemed a little low, which is why I am writing to you now.
Would you like to have over 1000 visitors to your site a day? We can help you!"

Now, let’s be realistic here. You may have a great site, but the fact is that NO ONE CAN GUARANTEE how many hits you are going to get.  
Your web designer is the best person to speak to about increasing your traffic. If she/he is unable to assist you in that area, then you may need to find one that can but do not fall prey to the scam of promised traffic. It just doesn't work that way.   
It is my hope, that by exposing and bringing to your attention some of these hoaxes, I could help you better deal with them if you came across one. There are millions of web-sites, and millions of good people on the Internet, but there are a few bad apples. Just like the real world.
