Spam on the Internet

[Polak]

Spam is good, the thing I hate is canned beef, it's really awful.

Fried Spam is good. Anyway, my mail has a junk folder. All that junk spam gets put in there. I can look thrown it quickly and just dump it. But yes, it is getting bad.

StdDev, I liked your link. I think everyone should check out the FAQ and for some laughs, look through the Hall of Shame. Some of those pics are so bad that they are funny.

I actually knew someone that fell for a Scam but thankfully she did not have the money to send. That and I looked at all the "Official" documents that were E-Mailed to her (and yes they looked good) but could not find any proof using the internet to verify and location or company on them. I tried to prove to her it aws a scam. She did not want to believe me so she contacted another friend with ties to our Government. Guess what, He said the same thing as I did.

I felt sorry for her since she did send some money and was trying to raise $10,000 to cover expences of shipping trunks full of money. She was actually losing sleep over this. That's when I found out about it.

It was bad, but at least she learned a lesson without getting hurt.

Nive site, StdDev!
I am one of the lucky ones who was already singled out by Nigerian Oil officials in the '90's to receive tens of millions of $$ on my lawyers account.
However, as you might have guessed, after some further communication the only thing I ever received through this scheme was a warning from the Amsterdam Policy Fraud Squad...

You actually got a warning from the Amsterdam Policy Fraud Squad? what, were you trying to Scam the scammer? Shame on you.
:rotfl:
Actually, I hope you did not lose to much in the scam.

Seems like the legal system is the same all over.

I really had my nose broken almost 2 years ago just after I said Hi to someone that just came by with the person that owned the trailer I was trying to maintain.

The Detective threatened to charge ME with filing a faulse police report because both the person that hit me and the owner claimed they were shopping at the time. Because of that The detective told the Victims Assistence Review Board that he felt I did it to myself (forget about the fact that I landed in a small cactus plant when I went down ). It did not help that I did not black out as he thought I should have if I truely was hit from a punch from someone coming from a crouching position as I claimed.

Here's the odd part, I actually have an E-Mail printed out from the Owner admitting they were both there and the Dectective refused to read it. even stranger, the guy that hit me had already served time for something prior (Never found for what). The Victims Assistence review board dropped my case even though I have a squeeky clean record.

Now. during the time I was trying to get this guy Arrested, the owner had me move out of the trailor and filed a restraining order against me to prevent me from reporting to the police when this guy was there. Her only evidence that she had that I was violent and a threat was that my Father is facing charges from something he did about 3 years ago and may finally see the inside of a courtroom in a few weeks. I won the Restraining order case because he judge refused to hold what my father may have done against me and She could not prove directly that I was a threat. She even prodused a witness (whom I've never met) claiming he knew me but could not state any facts. Nothing happened to her.
