An African Spam Question
The volume continues to go up on the emails with the stupid subject lines like "MY GOOD FRIEND", "IN UTMOST CONFIDANCE" and "URGENT REPLY REQUIRED" from folks with cool sounding names like Marcal Savimbi or Ms. John Mumberle. I don't see them going away anytime soon even though you would have to among the densest idiots on the planet to fall for this stupid scam spam.

But what I have been noticing is that almost every single one of these spams is different. They all have a different story to tell, some different link to a dead governmental official, some spin on why they need you, some tragic tale of woe. How can they do this? How can they continually crank out new story after new scam? And why would they? I'm sure the same stupid one is just as ineffective as sending out a thousand different scam spams.

Either way, I'm tired of them, tired of false urgency they intend to elicit, tired of the lies they propogate, tired of the garbage language they use because of their fragile understanding of the English language.

Has anyone ever fallen for this stupidity? Has anyone ever given them any reason to think that someone will fall for it and provide them with their bank account information? Is there any possible reason they continue to bombard the world with this stupid shit? And if there is someone dumb enough to fall for it, they should be kicked off the internet permanently for encouraging these idiot pricks to keep sending the garbage.

At last count, I got fifteen different spams this morning in my work in-box and another 12 or so in my personal in-box. All different, all the same, all stupid and all transparent attempts to steal my account information. Maybe I'll send them my old account info to see what they try to do with it?
