Who knew they made baloney in China. This originated from a NetEase email address. 163.com is one of the largest email providers in China.
I got the following in my spam folder. I know, spam is a waste in addition to comments after newspaper articles. My comments will be in Green and Red. I just can't control myself.

LOS ANGELES. CA 90036
NEIGHORHOOD: MID WILSHIRE - I thought the police pulled people like me over here.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. - I mean my beat-up Toyota is ignored locally, but you can see the troopers type in my license plate as they follow me on the interstate. It doesn't happen all the time. But I never notice it happening when I drive my 2009 Ford Taurus. Of course, in five years, poor old Ford Taurus is going to get the treatment too.
Dear Winner - Oh Please be a fool!

This is to inform you that you have been selected for a prize of a brand new 2014 Model BMW 7 Series Car and a Check of $1.500, 000.00 If you check the decimal point, this is a buck and a half. United States Dollars from international programs held on the 1st section 2014/2015 in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Have you finished laughing?
The selection process was carried out through random selection in our computerized email selection system (ESS) from a database of over 250,000 email addresses drawn from all the continents of the world which you were selected. We actually think you are quite stupid. We think there is an extremely stupid, greedy and gullible person behind this email address. If one out of all the millions of people who got this email responds, I will make enough money to live many years like a King in the middle of nowhere in China. In the Big City, I would need three or four people to fleece to maintain that lifestyle.

lmao, oh these ones are so dumb. They can't even stick to the same countries. At least these ones can be avoided, i.e. one just can't be stupid. I was reading one article on the dark net where hackers sell identities. If it's on the internet they say they can get it.
ReplyDeleteI've got an old blog post called "Bogus Spam Email". From the search results, there are some who are seeing if it is legitimate. It is sad to think. Anyway, it grist for the blog. I know everyone gets their share. It is just that they are so funny in how incredulous they are.
DeleteThat last one only lacked asking for your social security number...
ReplyDeleteIt was tempting to fill out and return with a name like Kisemy Arse. With English being a second language you could toss some good insults and time wasters for them. However, it could backfire. But it is a thought.
DeleteWay too funny!!
