"We are pleased to inform you that your e- mail address has won the New York Lottery Organization."

How does one win an entire organization? And anyway, I don't *want* the organization, I want the *cash*.

Also, the prize is non-transferable, so your e-mail address cannot give it to you.

I also found it funny that UPS was sending out notices that I had a FedEx delivery I needed to do something about.

I've been getting spam claiming to be from Facebook lately. There's just one problem ... they're sending it to an e-mail address not related to my FB account. Not that I would believe it in any case.

Lately about 5-10 of those per day are getting through my spam filters. Even if I had a Facebook account and were otherwise oblivious to phishing and spam, that volume would tip me off...

Are you sure you want these particular minions?

Also, see visgoth's note above. If my e-mail address can't give it to me, it can't give it to you either.
