Spammers, Be Modest!

Good day everyone!
It's been a haywire day for me. I started my most recent article for a travel blog this early morning around 330 hours. And finished it by 630 hours after much editing and re-editing.
Then I went outside to a cafe to grab me a coffee and some bagels. There were frequent showers along my way to the cafe, which is also a snack bar. Luckily, I was carrying a parasol in my handbag.
But this couldn't help me from getting soaked, if only moderately. I wish I had a proper umbrella!
After my early morning outing, I returned to my hostel and sat down to check my emails. And hurrah... I have been spammed!
It was not a new thing, but relatively I was not accustomed to straight 15 spams in a day (speak of lifetime
)
The spams were from some Insurance companies (*but I have one), educational institutions (*thanks, but I have completed my post-graduation years ago), lottery firms (*I wish I were that lucky
), supposedly successful and real bloggers (*Real? I hope not) with get rich real quick schemes (*no thanks,
I have been doing that for many years now and I ain't playing in millions as you do (and claim) in just an overnight), and many more people that I didn't know, wouldn't wanna know, and probably, never would come to know in my lifetime!
I have to appreciate these spammers for their efforts.
How meticulously they employ their time, money and labor just to spam people like us!
If only they were a little modest in what they did, or probably, moderate too. Then the title of the discussion would've been changed to Spammers Be Moderate!
What do you say?

Yes, most are not aware of these phony get rich real quick schemes and easily fall victim to them. It's actually sad that even in this day and age of technology, people are getting scammed. I wish the IS providers and software developers, along with the HR and IT ministries find a solution to get a hold on these spammers.
That's all I can say for now.
Have a nice day!
Peace

You could use a filter for your incoming mails and if you use it, spam mails won't come your way.

They keep coming to my spam box. Lie there for a few days and get deleted automatically. I don't have to do a thing (*_*)
