Weird SPAM/SCAM emails.

I have a friend who has severe dyslexia and other challenges. Another friend and I occasionally send him satire pieces from the Onion. He doesn't get them. Have you heard of Iowa Hawk? It's right wing satirical site, and it CAN be funny. I'm not sure if he'd get their satire either. As a "lefty in recovery" I love to poke fun at the Left. But it has to be done right. There's a new political "comedy" show on FOX, but it's REALLY BAD, so far. Not funny at all. I'll attach a link. If I can find it.

I have a friend like this. She believes some of the most craziest crap since it's written about the government, though most is myth.

@TheHorse I'm assuming it probably isn't, but still, they used her as the example. We know she is crazy, but if someone who doesn't know who she is looks her up, they will at least find out that she is a political "somebody" and maybe that's all they need to see to believe

Don't be impolite. Send her all your money. I'm not saying that just because Marjorie is one of my best friends. I'm saying it because she's only worth $4 million. Support the poor!

Years ago I found mails stating that if you sent a dollar or so with your name somewhere, you´d get very rich. There was even the picture of a mansion and a giant car. I wondered, why would anyone share this for a dollar if they could get rich otherwise? Scams come in all sorts of ways. I hope that nobody even remotely related to me falls for them.

I was playing dumb in this case. I think Greene is real, and a lunatic in Congress from some Southern state, perhaps Georgia.

There are some strange things going on out there, I got a message on my Textnow account in a voice mail that said if I don't get in touch with them then they will consider I want my latest Amazon order and take around a thousand dollars from my account, Problem with this nonsense is that I have not ordered anything from Amazon for 3 months so I am sure it was some silly scam but I have not idea why they would want to do this

I hoover over the email and look at the email name. If I don't recognize or if even seems a bit fishy (phishy), I delete without opening. I receive political, bank and even Amazon order emails that are not legit. Some have a special tracking to see if their email gets opened and they see it's a real email acct and blast with spam. Some buy from legit companies. It's annoying so I read real companies fine print about sharing.

@TheHorse It's like the phone calls that are spam. If you answer, they now have a live number and begin to text and call often. Had that with my last number.
