email scams

do NOT join up to any of the sites that claim to pay for reading emails.  They start off by offering you $25 to join - at first you are paid 20 - 50 cents for every email read, then it drops to 10c then to 5c and then, would you believe it, when my account reached $39 payment dropped to 1c per email! You can not cash out until you have reached $50, so obviously, they do not want you to reach this target.  A good way for them to earn money while they are ripping off suckers like me.
