I've had 700 put into my spam folder in the last three days. Nope. No difference.

My brother worked in an office where most of his employees were Nigerian, Americans from Africa, not African Americans. Well they had a computer security meeting warning about the Nigerian Scams...

It did not end well for the security expert.

Why does it have to be called the Nigerian Scam?

Because it is a scam out of Nigeria.

That's racist!

No, it is where these scams come from... /rinse and repeat.

I was wondering why you ordered the cane with the undersea cable cutting accessory. Seemed like a rather unnecessary purchase at the time.

It always seems unnecessary. Until that one day when you're everyone's hero...

For me they have moved on to my mobile phone.

-Mexican Lottery
-Some mysterious craphead in Las Vegas can't decide what they're selling on a cell phone (number probably spoofed)
-Same ploy from somewhere in Massachussetts

I'm wondering if the cell phone companies are selling lists of users with unlimited texting, specifically for text advertising.

You should reply and tell her it's her fault, she should have been born a man!
