Working hard or hardly working?
I normally don't do two spam roundups in a week, but the pickings proved especially fine in the past few days. Plus, there ain't much else going on.
A company from Turkey e-mailed after gettng my "address details from the Turkish Consulate." They make gas springs, which are apparently like regular springs but work better. They're springier, I guess. They close their missive: If you don't wan to have any e-mail from our company please write "DON'T SEND ANY EXTRA E-MAIL" and send back the message.
In other news… Begorah! The Irish and the Nigerians have finally teamed up. Ever wonder who's on the other end of that scam spam? Now it could be a leprechaun, bringin' ya a pot o' gold! "Peter Amata" e-mailed to inform me of an Irish banker who'd died mysteriously in Nigeria, leaving $12.2 million sitting in the bank. When the Irish government failed to respond to their communications, they sought my assistance. It was Waking Ned Devine, Abuja-style!
And "Ashlee Peoples" wrote to sell me the "Banned C D." I'm happy to say that her product offered something for everybody:
"“The ambitious! You can track down old flames from college, or you can dig up some dirt on your boss to make sure you get that next promotion!
"“The lazy! Or maybe you want a fake diploma to hang on your bedroom wall. You'll find addresses for companies that make these diplomas on the Banned C D.
"“The Steve Bartman! Need to disappear fast and never look back? No problem! Using the BannedCD, you will learn how to build a completely new identity.
"“The dangerous! Uncle Sam and your creditors are horrified that I am still selling this product! There must be a price on my head!
"“Those who would damn the man! Why are they so upset? Because this C D gives you freedom. And you can't buy freedom at your local Walmart.
