Ah, the delights of spammers

I received a message telling me about how I needed to look into consolidating the enormouse debt from my credit cards.

Of course, the fact that I don't currently have any credit cards didn't seem to cross their minds.

For some reason I get a lot of emails for "male enhancement products"

Do they know something I don't?

My parcel is "ready for despatch" - all I have to do is give them my bank details...............so kind of them, sending me something I haven't ordered

I get them all the time. I've won the Australian Lottery, inherited money from some long lost relative in Nigeria (Nigeria???? right). Everytime I get one, it immediately goes into the "spam" pile.

I have all the latest in spyware ,malware, etc, etc but i still have a lot to slip by in spite of all these programs. My real problem though is my virus,malware software blocking files that I want to go through. I have a netbook that I use a lot at night and a desktop that I use during the day. Starting a week ago I found that my virus software blocked Word files that I tried sending from my netbook to my desktop. i would get a message saying " OE has detected an unsafe file that has been deleted." It did not put it in quarantine somewhere so I could retrieve it. The virus software just deleted the file no matter what format I used to send it.

I finally had to resort to copying my file by using a flash drive. All efforts to email
a simple Word file failed.

I got a new one for all of you! Spam by phone! I got a phone call today warning me my extended warranty on my vehicle was fixing to expire and I needed to renew it if I wanted to keep it. I wasn't aware you could even GET a warranty on a 9 years old vehicle with over 100K miles on it, much less that I had one on it... Did I do wrong in hanging up on them?
