Bossy Spam
Spam is getting more and more ridiculous.
I got one of those "I'm a lawyer to a recently dead billionaire. Help me transfer the money and you will make lots of money" emails and the subject was
"AS URGENT AS YOU SEE IT! PLEASE READ NOW. NOW. NOW"
seriously, who falls for this shit? yea you are a Barrister and your email address is barristervincent_1990@hotmail.com...... are there really still stupid people out there who fall for this.....
i guess they are the same people who forward stupid email chain letters about some charity donating $1 for every email sent, to some sick little girl. and i know plenty of people who still forward those.
WWW.SNOPES.COM - everyone should visit this site. if you ever get any kind of email forward about deadly camel spiders in Iraq, or 21 foot long crocodiles roaming the streets of New Orleans, or an email about the horrible website instructing you how to make Bonsai kittens - for the love of god, SNOPES it before you forward it along.
If I've learnt anything from the internet, its be cynical, don't believe everything you read..... oh and how to have sex with dolphins.

It was on tonight's news. Hundreds of Queenslanders are fleeced every year by the Nigerian scams, including lawyers, doctors and financial advisers. :O
I heard of a Doctor who handed over thousands (like $100,000) in a Nigerian scam, and when he realised it was a scam he took off for Nigeria, never to retun (suspected murdered).
I guess the older people, the one's with money, aren't so spam savvy.
