so i immediateLy repLied with some nonsense about missing this bot, and wanting my chiLd support payments...
and a few seconds Later got the

[e-mail]
failure notice


why the fuck do these scumbags get to send out emaiLs, but receive any?

1. sneaky...

this was not the Tonisha Kincade you were expecting? ;-)

[sniffa]

4. weLL

i saw kathLeen as the name, and hoped it was another kathLeen (damn!) so i opened it... most of these maiLs go to my spam box.

i just get pissed when one gets through... then i get pissed that i can't threaten the person who sent it.

6. just pretend they're standing under yer balcony

and let fly. You'll feel better. ;-)

7. heh heh

i don't think a day goes by without a reference to my urine.

2. A) everything they send is from bogus addresses...

B) everything they send is bogus.

C) Never open any mail from anyone you don't know. Delete unread or report as Spam, according to your e-mail client's capabilities.

End of problem.

5. what are you taLking about?

i report everyone one these, yet i stiLL get some.

[mcscajun]

11. As do we all...

...


will always be with us, unfortunately.

But still, there's no need to open it, much less, godforbid, respond to it.

3. Wait. Shhh. Did you guys hear something?

Probably nothing.

8. I put a spam filter to automatically delete anything with my name....

...in the subject line.

Most folks who email me usually don't put my name in the subject line. They know it's me they're sending an email and I know who I am.

That elimiated a ton of spam. The spam idiots think if they send an email with your name in the subject line you won't have a clue that it's spam and think it's someone who knows you

[sniffa]

9. funny you shouLd mention that

about 75% of my spam has "Larry" or "Larry smith" in the subject Line

(as in "Larry smith wipe out your debts today")

i have no idea how that name got associated with my emaiL. :shrug:

[Elidor]

10. I love my spam!

Some of it is inventive, some just funny. I can never decide if I should grow my penis an extra three inches or increase my bustline several sizes.

But my address was once faked to spam a pr0n site, and I got angry emails telling me to stop it or else. And I'm like, dudes, I had nothing to do with this. I promise you I am not connected in any way with (name of website too vulgar to even mention).com.

I've always wondered: does the real-life VICE PRESIDENT OF THE NIGERIAN PETROLEUM COMPANY have trouble getting people to take his emails seriously? He's probably like, "No! Really! I AM! I AM the vice president of the nigerian petroleum company! I'm legit! See? I'm not even talking in capital letters!"

12. Yeah I liked the guy who was trying to send you all that money better.

I need money

[sniffa]

13. i Like it when they incLude a news story

to show they're Legit.

[ahem]

14. They usually spoof the "from" addy--typically it belongs to someone

who had nothing to do with the spam. Maybe you should remove the email address in your post.

15. the emaiL doesn't work

why wouLd it matter if i posted it?
