THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD
(2/6/2007)
Spam I W'am:No Sense So Dense
I don't know about anyone else but the spammers are driving me up the wall. What is the point of simply throwing bunches of words together in the subject line? Bunches of words that have absolutely no connection with each other as positioned? This is to make me want to open the message? Am I dense? It makes no sense. It merely lets me know, "spam I w'am" and delete it goes. I also love the emails that tell me my account has been frozen with an alleged financial institution I've never even heard of or one I know I don't have an account with even if I have heard of it. Go ahead and block that baby. Maybe even better is when they do eBay or PayPal fakes and include the warning that these companies will not ask for your password and then ask for it. But then there are times there is no need to do the latter -- they just simply ask me for all my personal information and account numbers. Why waste time with a password and looking it up? Can't forget all those emails that come from the foreign countries. Someone has died -- maybe even the entire family -- and left millions in the foreign account. Relatives can't be located. If someone isn't quickly found to claim this money, it will go to the government. Heaven forbid. I must save the money from that horrendous end. I must also be trustworthy. Trustworthy? I'm being asked to commit who knows how many crimes and yet asked to be trustworthy? Okay!?!? I can't help but get amused when the email sender claims I'm the only one they are writing to and yet there are about five or six of us in the "To" line. Just another thing that makes me feel real confident in their honesty. Or, after extensive investigation, I'm the long lost relative, but they don't even know my name? Trying to sneak something through customs is another one. Yep, sounds like something I would like to give a try for the heck of it -- NOT! Oh, and then there is that dying woman that has no children. She has only months, or weeks, to live and wants to give me her money so I can share it with charities. I think she needs to get a different doctor. Seems the one she has, has been fooling her some. Years later, she is still trying to give that same money away. I understand scams being around and some can sound real legit, though I don't think the above are included in that list. However, what in the world is the purpose of putting this in a subject, "try detail may operation may nail it's writing see line"? Oh well, of course, they do claim "We carry all the EDS you want". If they think that is an item people are looking to buy -- guess that explains it alI. Short in the wiring. Common sense fried. I may be dense, but those subject lines make no sense. If I see spam I w'am and no sense at hand -- delete it goes as fast as it can! Driving me up the wall? Maybe they already drove me over the edge!?!?
