Evil Spammers in the world

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!

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.

Guess creeps consider ripping people off their job. Guess they are too lazy to get a real one.

Not to give them an excuse, in some places, jobs can be hard to find. Not that that is an excuse, but I do understand that part.

That part is neat - I'd save the postmark! How much postage did it take to get to you from Romania?

I keep getting e-mails to my AOL e-mail account saying my inbox is full or some such, and to click on such-and-such link to "fix" that. Uh-huh. And it's "signed" something like AOL Security Team.

One thing I wonder is, how come so many of these message from "AOL's Security Team" or whatever come from yahoo.com or gmail.com addresses? And there are a lot that come from shaw.ca.
