Subject: What's the dumbest 'spam' E-mail you have ever DELETED?

Written By: Tony20fan4ever on 06/04/05 at 9:55 pm

I was 'spammed' with an offer for free diapers....and I don't even WANT a baby!

If it was for Depends I would have probably died with laughter before deleting it...

Any one that says you have won something....

Actually 'spam' e-mail could be PHISHING(getting your personal info illegally to 'hijack' your ISP account or your identity for theft purposes.....and it could also be used to 'infect' your PC(and many others!)with a nasty VIRUS!

I got a letter claiming there was a system that could teach you how to hypnotize women into sleeping with you.  ;D

It had a link to a site.

Hang on, let me see if I can find that link.....

The ones that crack me up are the ones that offers my husband (who has a Ph.D.) to get his degree on-line. Or the ones that offer him to join the FBI.

Uh, I think you mean penile extensions.  A "penal extension" is what you get if you're bad in prison.  Now, while in prison, you don't want your cellmate to get a penile extension...or maybe you do!

Any porn stuff....

If you answer porno spam, all you'll get is MORE porno spam, a browser hijacking, and maybe a killer virus.  Tricky business finding the good porn on the net, you gotta search long and hard....
;)

also online pharmacies...

You wanted Valium, you got sugar pills from Pakistan.
You wanted Viagra, you got caffiene tablets from Hondorus.
Now you're out a hundred bucks and who can you complain to?

Certainly the funniest title (I don't even open spam mails) was..

"Get a c*ck so big it scares people"

I've always wanted one of those  ::)

Same here.  I actually had someone tell me there was no way I would get porn if I had never visited one of the sites.  I think he just didn't understand what exactly "spam" is. ::)

Yeah, but one of those kits makes a great gift for your boyfriend or husband....well, maybe that wouldn't be so good.

Any Letter that comes from some "Diplomat" from Nigeria or Zimbabwe or what not. I'm sure you guys have seen these things. they claim that someone needs some money for an investment and blah blah blah.

IT makes me sick to think that people have actually fallen for their BS... :-\\

Fake AOL notifications. What I really worry about is some wisea** kid learning to make them look official(all REAL official AOL E-mails have a BLUE border)..and some fool with no anti-virus program having their motherboard fried!
