Disinformation and Tunnel VisionCredibility is an interesting attribute, because is subjective and one may apply any measure of it they wish against any piece of information.

But the fact is, if one chooses to refine a claim in the crucible of verification, one has already assigned at least a modicum of credibility to the source.

In my most very humble opinion, assigning a single iota of credibility to a spam email is at best an exercise in futility and at worst a real waste of time.

And to assume the motivation of the sender takes an even greater leap of faith. People believe what they want to believe, despite the facts.

Here’s a tip from me that should you serve it well:

If you read something in an email from originated from an unknown and unverified sender, delete it.

Don’t try to figure out the hidden meaning or ulterior motive.

It is not even worthy of another second of your thought.

Good morning Richard - good advice. I would add telephone solicitations and "credit collections."

Good morning Richard. In a word: agreed. I am so tired of spam and even delete stuff that may come from friends or acquaintances when the title is absurd.

I'm such a skeptic that I'm taking a certified funds check to the bank this morning and believe with all my heart it's fake.  If there really IS a person buying this investment it's gonna shock me.  I just don't know what their game is if it's fake though.

Goo morning Richard. I get a kick out of the people who "fix it" by unsubscribing. Yes...you did just let them know it was an active email. Yikes.

You have summed up one of man's great flaws here - "People believe what they want to believe, despite the facts."

That is what the delete button is for. I hate that i have to spend even that fraction of a second on those emails.
