Funny email from a hacker.

[Jerlene]

This is an email that a guy got from a hacker.

Dear Receiver,
You have just received a moldovian virus. But as you know, in Moldova, the technology is not advanced, so this is a virus that works manually. So please, delete all your data from your hard disk by yourself.
Thanks alot.
Mihai. Moldovian Hacker.

I literally laughed out loud when I read this. I wonder if that's an actual email that someone received.

It reminds me of those Turkish hackers that think they're the best hackers but really can't do a thing.

Actually original joke was related to an Albanian virus:

Albanian Virus

  DEAR RECEIVER    You have just received an Albanian virus. Since we are not so technologically advanced in Albania, this is a MANUAL virus. Please delete all the files on your hard disk yourself and send this mail to everyone you know.  
  Thank you very much for collaboration.

It's a good joke though. I never received any of them. However, i receive a lot of spam in my gmail.

[Jerlene]

I receive a lot of spam as well. GMail soaks it up like crazy.

fortunately Gmail have a huge quota...

[Jerlene]

Actually, unfortunately. Because they allow so much email to be received, it can easily collect a lot more than usual.

Yeah Gmail needs better spam protection.

[Jerlene]

Most of the mail in my spam folder is actual spam so that's good.
They just need to filter out my inbox better.

[mytshans]

is it possible for mail service like GMail automatically bounce spam mail? just as my thought...

[Jerlene]

I don't think they have that feature. You can try looking through your GMail account or searching the net.
