Resources drained by e-mail hoaxes

The old adage that 'a fool and their money are easily parted' is still tempting more and more would-be fraudsters to run e-mail con tricks, such as the notorious Nigerian money scam.
Increasingly we are seeing more and more e-mails--offering us everything from natural Viagra to a share of Bill Gates' fortunes--and those sending them clearly still see a market for their ludicrous scams.
Similarly a second threat from spam e-mail is that posed by hoax virus warnings, which can be as dangerous as genuine viruses once they begin to spread like wildfire through e-mail servers worldwide - taking up important human and computer resources.
The Internet, imagine life without it.
