Have you ever just read some of the stuff that ends up in spam? Seriously, it’s very entertaining and laughable, most times. The best ones I’ve received recently pretend to come from people I know. Really, I know they’re pretending because I know they don’t live in Russia, or China or whatever de.com is.

One even picked the name of my daughter and I have to say, it’s interesting how many countries she sends me email from when I know she’s just down the hall – IN THE SAME HOUSE.
I know if she wanted me to look at a link, she wouldn’t route her email through @ru.com to have me see it. She’d walk down the f@@!$g hall and tell me about it.

For anyone who has ever received spam, and unless you live under a rock without email, you do, take a minute and really look at it.  NO, don’t open it and DON’T, for the love of God, click on any links.  Just look at the email address it comes from and ask yourself “Is there a chance I know this person?”  Good emails do get caught in spam folders so you do have to look occasionally.

If there is any question about it’s validity and you think you know this person, make a separate, new email to this person and ask them why they would send you something like this, or in reality ask if they did send you something.  Some emails spoof people you know, some don’t even try.  I get some good love ones like this one:

 

 

I have been offered money from dignitaries in Nigeria looking to get rid of theirs. It was alluded that I might love some Brazilian girls and falling in love with a Latina.  Then a poor guy from the Ivory Coast had a business proposal saying his story relates to the Republican Forces – wow.  Some other nice guy from blomsmaptintshop also thought I was looking for a business proposal saying he got my email from a Business Directory (I’m not in one of those, I’m sure).  He wants to share an abandoned fund that has been in his bank…it gets confusing after that point but he want’s me to have 30% of 3.5 million to help him.

Suffice to say if you need a laugh, just check your spam and think of the idiocy and balls people have thinking they can lure you with bad spelling, bad grammer and email addresses from – who knows where.

Enjoy the following email exerpts:

Hello Good morning
Do you have any project or an on going project which requires funding?
I got your contact from a Business Directory in my search for a trustworthy and reliable partner for project investments. I reach you via your email so that we can work together to claim accrued excess funds worth millions of dollars if you are interested in discussing this further.
Please I need your help in claiming an abandoned fund I discovered in our Bank.The account is dormant and non operational for 10 calendar years.We stand to gain immensely on the successful completion of this mutual undertaking.This business opportunity guarantee’s you 30% of $3.5 Million USD .
I intend to reinvest this fund by putting it into the management of project owners,entrepreneurs with good business ideas and viable projects that can generate healthy return on investment.This fund cannot be paid into my bank account since I am still in active service,hence the need for your assistant.
If that is the case email me for discussion of this matter in detail. I assure you that this project is feasible and I have worked out a perfect plan to make it successful. I will discuss further details when I am sure of your willingness to do this deal with me.

Looking forward to hearing from you soonest.
Regards,

Checking my inbox again 150 useless comments in the trash. The ongoing saga of really vile comments from lovely asshats all over the world with nothing better to do then push porn, pills, casino and other gambling sites and just plain nonsensical bs. Luckily, spam filters them all out and I flush them down the proverbial drain.
