Lately I’ve been clicking on to the spam folder more often than I used to. Not really entirely because I want to get rid of them - well if I could delete them before they even enter my email I would - but I have developed an odd amusement of the spam emails I’ve been receiving lately. Let’s not talk about the usual, grow your manhood kind of thing which I think you probably have received more than I did - if you’re not using the best email service that is. Anyway, what I strangely find interesting are all the stories (badly written ones) about the money that I could get from a share of inherited treasure of some late filthy rich fellow from far across the globe. It’s funny how many times I’ve been offered(spammed rather) billions of Euros or dollars and even more ridiculous is the undying hope of the real original sender to score a victim with their narrations and the typos and poor grammar that come along. I thought that if only the past 1000++(and growing) spams I received that offered me unimaginable riches in the world were real, I would be probably not blogging about it right now and would be either splurging 24/7 or setting up my own humanitarian foundation named after me. That would be great. Changing the world with riches I’ve got by replying to spams.

Out of sheer fun, I would cut a phrase from the supposed-to-be convincing narrations and paste over to Google more about it. Sometimes I use the conspicuously suspicious names included in the spam. Unsurprisingly, I was returned quite a number of results having that phrase. Concerned netizens have already put up and stigmatized those emails as hoax. But what’s more interesting and again, ridiculous, is the very fact that there are different versions of the narrations in the spam. Some used a name that’s different from another but a totally the same set of stories. Others had the same story but differed salutations and greetings. Can they get any more desperate?

Oh well… Spams are spams and each of them is no less like the other. They are unwanted, pieces of junks(that’s where they got the junk mail by the way :P). Why did I even dedicate a post on them? To make this post a bit more useful, let me end with a reminder: be wary of emails that are suspicious. When in doubt, you can always do the first step by googling about it and we have dedicated and concerned netizens who can help.
