I am for ever getting warnings that say they are from the police, microsoft, google, or some well meaning friend warning me about opening messages from someone or other.

Is there a site listing all scams or potential hackers please?

Below is one such WARNING received today.

There's Hoax Busters. You'll even see SIMON25@HOTMAIL.CO.UK under the letter "S".
