Spam

Well, the Nigerian scam has gone international, with someone claiming to be from Taiwan sending out an almost identical letter. How can anyone with two neurons to rub together fall for this crap? Just in case, if you get a letter from Mr. Chan Fung, chanfung7@hknetmail.com, at system33 ([195.166.233.129]), don’t bother unless you want to read it for a laugh.

As for all the others, do they really expect me to open something that has a lot of garbage in the subject line? The best one of the morning was one with the subject line “Please do not open this email.” Okay, I won’t.

I am not to the point of Little Tiny Lies, where he is signing up the spammers for interesting spam, simply because it takes too much time. Love what he is doing, but it is not for me. I may have to set up some filters soon, but have been cautious and lazy. Besides, maybe one of these time- and money-sucking cretins will come up with something original one day. Until then, the delete key is my friend.

I could be really full of s**t here, but could all that Nigerian spam scan be more.......like say code? Why risk sending an email directly to just one person when all you have to do is flood the whole world with it?
I'm only saying this based on the book 7 Days Of The Condor where a personal add for a spy was placed in a paper.
Like I said, just a thought. And probably a poor one. It wouldn't be the first one I've had.
