Yup it's true!
Some moron apparantly thinks I did something for him in the past and now all I have to do is contact chiubaa1@hotmail.com and ask to have it sent to me. Oh yeah and the money is in a swiss bank account too. The effing spammer probably thought that stating that would make it more believable.
Folks this is one of the examples of the spams I've gotten today. And I'm LMAO
My question to you is:
Do you ever laugh about things in a spam? If you do and can remember it maybe you'd like to share it with us here so we can enjoy it too.
Maybe you don't find any humor in spam at all. If so let us know and tell us why.

I seem to laugh a whole lot at things, even things I shouldn't... But for some odd reason those kind of emails make me mad.
I think of the poor people who are desperate for money and they believe them and get ripped off.
I also think of those of us who know the truth about it and these morons think all of us are stupid.
When I first started to get them I wrote back a few times and said "Just because I have an email address does not mean I am stupid. No one believes this crap. Get a real job!" ...And stuff like that. Lol.
The emails always came back undeliverable.
Oh, I just thought of something else! I think the real reason I get so mad is because the usually say they are with some sort of religious organization.
And they make it sound like if you do this thing, you will be making God happy. That is probably the part that makes me so angry.
I shouldn't be though. God is the one who will judge them, not me, Lol!

You know momalisa I agree with you. I also have my bouts of anger at them. But it's usually at the crafty ones that only send a pic of little blue pills and thus hiding from my sensor. If were just one I'd stay calm but I get so dang many of them.
But I really gotta laugh when a moron sends out a spam in html pretending to be from oh say e-gold and doesn't do it right. You get this thing with a lot of brackets in it and you can plainly see that it's somebody who is phishing. It's so dumb that you gotta laugh.
Or when you see it's an email they've been copying over and over again with the same bad grammar.
Don't let it get to you, don't send it back to them just report the little s.o.b. for doing it.
Hope ya have a great weekend.

I hope they will read you post first before sending the money. I think this discussion will help a lot! Good post

Yes they do! That's why they keep sending them. If nobody believed them then this would have dried up long ago. But unfortunately there are still people who will actually reply to them. There are still people who fall into the trap and even give out their personal details. Or worse yet actually send these crooks some money.

Let me tell you about spam. Sometimes when I come home after a very long day at work, and I see all that spam in my inbox, well I just see red ( no joke). I then start responding to them in a "not so nice" manner. I tell them to **f@@k** off. I also tell them they are spamming and I wasn't born yesterday. Now get this, I had one guy email me back. He said "well you don't have to be so rude about it". Me RUDE? You are spamming my mailbox, of course I'm gonna be rude. So after answering a bunch of spam mails I start giggling, and I feel much better.

I thought it would be funny to send a reply like that once. But after thinking about it I decided against it. In the first place it's very likely that it's a fake address so the filthy spammer would never see. And in the second place, if it did somehow get to them, I wouldn't want them to have the satisfaction of knowing that I actually took the effort.
Thanks for your post!
