Evil Spammers in the world

Hit them with your ban hammer!

Already done!

I haven't even had the computer turned on in the past couple of weeks or so, so imagine my surprise when I checked my Google emails this a.m., and there was a mail sent to me from my Dad. Yup - the sender was "Dad J--------" with even the last name - a rather long and not at all common Italian name beginning with "J", being spelled correctly. He asked how i was doing, and provided a link for me to view.

WOW - just amazing - considering that my Dad passed away in 1973 - which itself was years before the age of a computer in every home- and my Dad wouldn't have known one end of a computer from the other anyway.

Don't these idiots EVER quit?????????????

A new low...

Now this is one very different one-- disgusting to go that far. How low do these spammers crawl I wonder?

Okay, one of the newest subjects of spam coming to my email - "Your auto warranty is expiring ..." uh, folks, my car is 12+ years old. It has over 186,000 miles on it. Its warrantee expired probably before you learned to type, never mind send spam!

[smokey the elder]

I get all kinds of paper spam (junk mail) about that. Even my newer car: I bought the extended motor/tranny warrantee (it's a hybrid), and still get mails from faux Toyota dealerships.

I got one in the mail yesterday, a note from Grandma Rosa saying she chose me because I'm a good person with a good heart and I was born good but someone or something took my luck away. But she will get my luck back for free. To get 7 lucky numbers, an old time magic money charm, a few surprise gifts, and an additional $1000 to my social security check all I have to do is send $9.99 to a P.O. box in Denver. By the way, the note I got is postmarked Romania.
