Our company has just installed an anti-spam mechanism to block incoming spam mail in our office emails. We used to get spam by the dozen and had to delete all of them on our own, which usually took up quite a lot if time. It is quite easy to spot a spam email - it would usually (tho not alwiz) be from an ang moh sender (altho we still had to double check coz there are some ang moh clients). The extent that most of us go is to delete these spam mails or to install an anti-spam. However, something really funny happened at my sis’ company.

Have you ever wondered how it would feel to wear a $10,000 watch
Someone actually replied that spam message and placed everyone in the office on the cc list !! Gawd…how innovative. Who would think of replying to a spam message? I’m not even sure if the email address displayed is a valid & existing one :o)
