That's been going round for quite a while.

First rule of spam, if it's written really badly (like that one is) it's cobblers

one of the most funniest Spam which I've seen so far is the one in which a over Exaggerated girl holds something really big in her hands with amazing looks.

I hope you guys have got same spam couple of times so far

I got tons of that kind of spams for years , but now it's extra increasing , the funniest one is the latest and scarest, it's happened a month ago , I'd received a usual spam email that tells they are a bank staff and they want to take over money of a dead family whom has no alive relatives at this moments , they were an Australian doctors family died in a plane crash in Nigeria or a near place ...

So the story isn't that but it's about what happened after , I was totally bored and have nothing to do ! so I emailed them that I don't care where their money came from if they give me my share and after hours I received informations asking me my detailed information , and I emailed them with fake infos , and I got amazed seeing an email telling me , they gonna send money to my bank account but they'll send a guy to meet me where I live to go with me to the bank!!!! :eek:

Oh man!! it was freaking me out , I forget about that email definitely and thanks GOD I didn't give them anything real , I won't ever forever retry that jokes :eek:

I believe that there are gangs specialized in money laundry that worked like that and they may kill the intermediary guy after accomplishing their missions...

Wow , who would think that his life's ending will be due to a SPAM EMAIL!!!

I have an old email , that I'd used it years ago to subscribe to some PPC and PTC sites and it does reach now a 1000 or 2000 email per week so I feel so tired to fetch it time to time, but you believe that I receive a 1 to 3 emails weekly in my 8 months gmail account and they are all sincere, beleive me it's so boring!!!!

I believe that spams are just like salt for meals , we need them time to time , either to move our emotions and get angry and start complaining and sending emails to ISPs and that makes us dynamics , or we just enjoy reading ridiculous messages or may be we find that we have a bit interest of its content , spamy life is dynmic and yummy some times , it's to taste different emotions of brain

unlike the forums spams , they're really nonsense and rottening the whole board , those kinds should be ed off from here

As funny as some spam is it isn't good news for the Internet. Spam email takes huge amounts of bandwidth that could be used for something more productive.

Unfortunately the only real way to stop it is for bloody idiots to stop buying stuff from spammers.
