So, I get there this morning and check to see what's waiting for me and there's an e-mail telling me that the child porn I ordered will be sent out and my card will be billed for it. Surely a mistake. But wait! The sender already thought of that possibility. In the event of a mistake, all I have to do is send my CC info to them and they'll clear it up for me! How thoughtful is that?

Seriously, does anyone actually fall for this? People that dumb can't even work a computer to begin with right?

Eh, it was an original one that I hadn't seen before. Got a chuckle out of me. If you've already got it... too fvcking bad :p

Lol, oops. When I first posted there was nothing but a title. By "actual text" I meant there was actually something there now. Fixed :p Blah, this thread is a massive abortion now. Let it die :(

I get the one from EBAY stating they need to reverify my account and need all my account #'s, mothers maiden name, SS#, and all bank account #s. Apparently it must work or they wouldnt be sending them out.

There have been 500 of those in everyone's inbox.

Google "K9" or "PopFile"

These small software puts 99% of all spam into the trash folder.

i'd be tempted to just reply with random numbrs so they get excited, but then they'll come back at your e-mail addy with more!
