Email spam, also known as junk email or unsolicited bulk email, consists of nearly identical messages sent to numerous recipients by email. Clicking on links in spam email may send users to phishing websites or sites that are hosting malware . Spam email may also include malware as scripts or other executable file attachments. Definitions of spam usually include the aspects that email is unsolicited and sent in bulk.

Here are just a few examples of spam email that I have recently received.
The fractured English and implausible claims are typical of the genre, and should alert you to the fact that the mail is fraudulent in some way.
See whether you can work out what the messages are on about.
