| I got a new phish today... saying I was due an IRS tax refund for $800. All I had to do was log in, give them my SS#, DOB, a valid credit card number, and credit card details, and they would deposit the money RIGHT AWAY into my credit card account! I forwarded it to the IRS for investigation. The IRS does not apply refunds toward credit cards, and they do not even take credit cards without your paying a fee to use them. There is no end...

| I reckon it's only a matter of time for a few to get busted, they'll catch them. Some countries like China catch them fast, even in internet cafe's!

| Yah, but most are in smaller places that do not have a very stable government, like Nigeria. Anything coming from here stateside would be shut down in a few days.

| What about bloody spam on ya mobile phone, keep getting stupid sms messages, frig that really peeves me off! And when you return the sms it bounces .... I tell ya, the more gadgets ya got the more bloody telemarketers and spammers you gotta screen. I still recall the days of getting home to see 30 sheets on the floor from ya fax! So I used to leave only 2 sheets in. Makes you wonder, in the old days before internet, mobile phones etc people still functioned OK. You have an electrician or plumber at ya house now and he spends half his time on the phone!

| Got a new one today from some fellow in Nigeria, claiming that a relative of mine with the same last name died. Fellow had 20 million dollars and no heirs, and the fellow was looking for a relative to collect the money. Gee, and I tossed it into the bit bucket on my computer. Maybe I should have followed through... I mean, 20 MILLION DOLLARS!
