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?????????????

Ecclesiastes 3:1The clock of life is wound but once and no man has the power
To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

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.
FIND A PURPOSE IN LIFE.....BE A BAD EXAMPLE
Guess creeps consider ripping people off their job. Guess they are too lazy to get a real one.
I got a "prize" card in the mail..."You've won two plane tickets!" Oh really? I don't remember entering any contest: straight into the recycle with you.

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.
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

If you look at the actual headers, most do not originate from those addresses, but they spoof it to make it look like something you would find credible, and so click to open! That is also why you will sometimes see things in your mailbox that look like they are coming from someone you know, but are not actually from them!

Okay - no lie!
I just in my email, two in a row that read:
From/Subject
A little Hanky Panky / Want to Have a Secret Affair? Per....
Email Lookup / Are You Being Cheated on?
Ha!

Okay, next target seems to be hearing loss - I actually am now getting spam that not only claims to have the cure for tintinnitus - but "reverse your hearing loss" and one subject line even said, "Learn how Marlee Matin restored her hearing ..." Hello? Like it would have made scientific headlines AND entertainment ones if the only well-known deaf actress could suddenly hear?
Let's see, we've ticked off
eye trouble
Alzheimers
Diabetes
Weight loss has been a perennial one, as had
"Erectile"issues
now
Hearing loss ....
What's next? Yes, we know the Baby Boomers are aging ...
