Gmail has filtered out most of the spam emails I used to get.
What comes now is mainly from friends’ hacked accounts.
Take a look at the warning that came along with a request that I help someone get home from Scotland.
Look at the warning that has been inserted in this spam email.
First thing I see this morning is your headline.
I’m trying to shake the cobwebs from my head and I’m thinking, “Oh no, I love Spam!”
You frightened me!
I had some fun with the spammers.
I sent a reply when I got one from my friend whose account had obviously been hacked, so after verifying she wasn’t stuck in another country, I told the hacker that I would wire the money.
Long story short, the hacker wasted 3 trips over the next 3 days to the local Western Union Office to collect money I had never sent in the first place.
Boy did they get mad and I enjoyed the laugh at their expense.
