and still in the spirit of succinct posts…
I got this in my mail today. These spammers are starting to freak me out!
Subject: We have hijacked your baby
Dear DK (insert real first name here)
Hello, I hope you are having a good day.
We have hijacked your baby but you must pay once to us $50 000. The details we
will send later…We has attached photo of your fume.
Yours truly,
Chip Damian
And then proceed to attach a zip file plus a jpeg file of some pic I’ll never lay my eyes on. And what in the heck does “your fume” mean?
Now I know this is spam or junk or a virus or whatever, like those breaking news cnn things, but come on! Isn’t there a limit??? This is the stuff heart attacks are made of!
.howdy, world?
Reading: Spam
Listening: Acoustic Alchemy
Thinking: Sh** that stuff ain’t funny!

Am I dancing these ones? Even with paid internets?

Yep, officially dancing the secondsies as well. Can I have a fume too? Whatever it is, if it is worth 50,000 dollars, I could do with one.

He hopes you are having a good day after hijacking your baby?
Sorry but this is funny. Made my day.
Maybe ‘baby’ and ‘fume’ have a different meaning. His English reminds me of a Japanese or Chinese user’s manual.

He he he. Sorry, it’s funny. Do you even have a child? And even if you did and were looking at him right there and then, I’m sure you would have had a heart attack! Then realised he’s safely sleeping in your lap. LOL. Ok, this is totally ridiculous. Beats my rant about Sway club and simanyi win a car text messages.
