Why do spammers ...

Top this one if you can.

Today I got an email from Christy Walton - yes - of the Walmart empire. She's dying and has only 2 months to live, and she has $55 BILLION - 9 of which she wants to give to me to help some charities. When this money hit my bank account I'll let you all know, and if anyone needs some financial help - then just ask me for it. The sky's the limit! I guess this means I can tell that rude customer service person I encountered in Walmart a few days ago, to take a flying leap. Heck - I can buy the whole store outright and fire every last person there if I want to.

Go For It!!!!!

Oh, another new popular trend is "Time and Attendance Software/Solution/Track your hours" - is this such a common problem/ issue that spammers think they can profit from it?

Just got and "junked" one that me smile nonetheless. The title? "Learn Good" and subject "Online language learning," which of course my editor/daughter of an English teacher's brain immediately said "That should be 'Learn Well!" or "Learn Easily," or something else! "Learn Good" sounds uneducated, you're not gonna be trusted to teach anyone language!

Reviving this just to say,

If Tara the Psychic really was a psychic, she'd know I will delete the email unread, even if it says she has a reading for me!

And I still, I repeat still have no Exes who are searching for me, as I have no Exes!

Recently spammers have been sending a "how to grow hair" email - I mean, really? Have they taken a look at my mop? I hardly need to grow MORE of it!

I get so many spam emails from Match.com and Christian Mingle that I will never ever use them, even if I was single.

Why do spammers now assume I'd want a Chinese bride, when I never have responded to any of the offers of Russian Brides or other Asian brides over the years? I wonder if my Russian-American niece-in-law gets those, too!

And why have they all of a sudden decided saffron, of all things, is the next diet miracle? It happens to be the given name of my new music director's little daughter, who is 2 1/2 years old and bright as can be, and I just don't associate her with weight loss!

Note to spammers, as of 2014 - I still am married to the love of my life. Sending me spam for BlackPeopleMeet, Jewish Singles, Seniors Date and any other specific ethnic religious, or socio-economic group to which I do not belong will not help you in getting me to respond!

And, by the way, telling me I need to buy flowers for my wife/girlfriend for Valentine's Day doesn't work either! I am married, and to a male. He is still enjoying the little live tree I got him at Christmas, thank you!
