These ones are coming at a rate of 2 or 3 a day to me at the moment as well and i do normally send them off to the spam folder.
Like Andrew, my debts are banked elsewhere

so Mr Spam West has no business with me.
As we were on the subject and this one appeared in my inbox i posted it as an example. The subject matter of this email was onlinesecurityATn.........Access Suspended.

Unfortunately, there seems to be lead in some lipsticks, up to four times the US limit for sweets, see:

or

but it doesn´t seem to cause cancer, just a slight risk of stunted growth or brain damage.

Glad I don´t use the stuff, even if it is only up to .65 ppm (parts per million), but keep things in glossy perspective!

Guid hunting,

I was more concerned with the amount of calories i was inadvertantly consuming via my red pout

Good one, Andrew!

Like Tracey, I think more about the calories, so anything that stunts my growth at this point is not seen as a negative ... and as for brain damage
