And On The Seventh Day The Lord Checked His Email, Cursed His Creation, And Cast The Spammers Into The Lake Of Fire…

Yeah, I wish. Unfortunately spam is here to stay. We collectively spend billions of dollars in additional infrastructure just to support these criminals. Their spam clogs our bandwidth and pollutes our inbox.

But in this barrage of digital debris we get a glimpse of ourselves in our darkest and most depraved moments. We laugh at the audacious statements and tricks. Penis enlargement patches that promise and extra 3-4 inches (talk about stretch marks..and I mean for the man!). An unsolicited letter from the child of a deceased African leader who desperately needs YOUR help to transfer $25,000,000 out of a secret bank account. Viagra and Cialis from creepy online merchants that make Oakland crack dealers look respectable. A unexpected announcement that you are the winner of The Worldwide International Lottery…and you didn’t even have to play because the winners are chosen randomly from a pool of public emails! Imagine that!

Laugh all you want, but it works. The proof is in the billions of email spam sent daily. If you could reach one million people for free, how many suckers would you need to turn a profit? The answer is one. One in a million.

I used to get frustrated by all the junk, but now I just find it interesting. Spam is designed to catch us at our most desperate moments. It’s in these moments that the ridiculous sounds plausible, the suspect sound reasonable, and our better judgment is sacrificed at the alter of anxiety, doubt, and greed… and sometimes just plain stupidity.

Don’t be that one in a million.

Bristol Myers Company Seeks American to Pose as Indian Farmer to Skim Profits…or somthing like that.

I’m really shocked at the corruption that is plaguing Bristol Myers. You’d think that a company who reported a quarterly profit of $850 million dollars would have a better handle on their employees. So no Mr Johnson, I will not pose as an Indian farmer so you can skim profits from expensive herbs that sell for $36 per gram ( 5 grams at $180 or 3,000 rupees). How dare you profit from cancer patients and viral infection sufferers! Good day sir!

Hello,

My name is Dr Johnson Brown from west Dublin United Kingdom i am a research consultant working with a pharmaceutical company in United Kingdom as production and development administrator.
I do visit India on purpose of purchasing some local production materials for our company, now I have just been promoted and our management has decided to replace my former position with another staff on purchasing these items from India, So I intend to bring to your clear understanding closer in what I am about to do and hope you will find it reasonable.

1.)I do purchase this product during the time I visited India from the local farmer at the rate of (3,800 rupees per sachet) of 5 grams while taking ($180 US dollars for same sachet) from our company due to demand and value of this herbal material to our company.

Now I am promoted to another position, our company intends to retrieve the contact of the local farmer in India from me in other to hand it over to the new staff who is going to purchase this product for them.

2.)I want to compromise with you and introduce your information to our company as the same local farmer in India where I have been purchasing this product out, you will now purchase this product out from the local farmer at (3,800 rupees per sachet) and re-sale to our company at usual rate of ($180 Us dollars per same sachet) they will visit India and make cash payment for the herbal product, this material is a local natural herb (Theresa herbs) refined in the laboratories by adding other pharmaceutical substances to produce medicines for Cancer patients and many more viral diseases. Finally, the profit you made from each sale to our company will be shared in this ration, 20% for me and 80% for you for your partnership in the transaction. The supply will be on a bi-monthly basis, i believe this will be an alternative revenue generating venture for you.

I will explain further as soon as i receive your response, please send your response to this email id ( johnsonbrown40407@ymail.com )

Have a nice day,

Awaiting your response

Dr. Johnson Brown.

Fake Walmart Western Union Secret Shopper Scam

OMFG! Where do you start on something like this. They send you a fake check and then you go spend your own money to shop at Walmart (and you get to keep everthing you buy!) and then you go to Western Union to transfer a large sum to their agent. This too is your money. They will then pay you $200 for your trouble! WTF? Anyone who falls for this should receive 200 lashes with a wet noodle (linguine would suffice)

Hello,

A Check/Money order of between ($800 – $2,850) will be mailed out to you to carry out the Evaluation.
The funds have been calculated to cover both aspects of this survey. You will be allocated $100 for the Walmart shopping section.

All you have to do is walk into any of its location buy, buy and buy till you exhaust the money provided for this section, but you have to be in the store for at least 30 minutes, watching and taking note of everything (Remember that everything you buy is totally yours).

The management of Walmart intends to change the store’s environment, color, gift items and shopping/carrier bags etc, we are also looking into putting a stop to poor services. For these reasons we have decided to give the customers the opportunity to decide.

A lot of customers have reported lapses in Money transfer services in some Outlets around the U.S. Our need to act is based on reports and complaints which some customers forwarded anonymously and phone calls that were made to our head office.

Agent’s locations were reported for evaluation for the following reasons;

Poor services
Rudeness to customers
Excess charge

YOUR EVALUATION WILL BE :

To make a transfer of funds from the location to our agent with the remaining funds after you complete your first task.Funds would be picked up by our agent at the exact location which a customer reported his/her funds missing from.

You will have to record the time at which you got to the Western union/MoneyGram Outlet and how many minutes it took you to get the service.

You will also provide us with the Name of the cashier that attended to you along with the Address of the WalMart store.

You will be paid a commission of $100 for completing both tasks. Also you will be on a basic monthly salary of $1000.00 which you will be receiving every last day of the month end. Your reports should be drafted and sent to me via email immediately the assignment has been completed.
