Now I have never suffered from sexual problems, but I get
email upon email suggesting that I might have! I also get emails from so-called
lawyers whose client has passed away leaving 5 million US dollars and that I
can claim for it somehow… I don’t go into the ins and outs of this as I delete
them as soon as I read the first line, which usually begins with ‘On behalf of
the Trustees…’ As do I delete those emails that begin, ‘It is with gladness I
write you this message, to congratulate you… blah blah…’ You know this is dodgy
for many reasons, the most obvious being that no one ever uses the word gladness.
You check your email and think hey, I have got mail, only to
find out that the email is in fact spam. I can’t count the amount of times I
have won the lottery of something or other. My most recent was when I won a
lottery from Nokia. Why or why would anyone believe that Nokia would choose
some random email and decide to give them millions of pounds…? And the email
addresses they give you to reply to! They might as well read Iamagullibleidiot@yesitstrue.com

Spam doesn’t just infiltrate your inbox either. You look at
a football score or a news item and scroll down to look at the comments only to
find out some Russian woman is dying to meet you in the middle of other
comments. Or that you can win Ipad and Ipods galore. Surely people are all wise to it by now?
Surely they realise that these spam are not genuine? And if that is the case,
then why do our email boxes still get bombarded by a bombardment of such
idiotic emails?
Anyway, got to go now, someone from the Halifax has emailed
me to say I need to send off all my bank details (along with passwords) to him, as the Halifax have lost them… banks,
hey! What can you do!
