Intriguing Junk.

I never open junk e-mails, of course, but some of the subject lines continue to intrigue. I like to imagine what kind of person sent it, and what their agenda might be. The latest comes, supposedly, from Mr Mark Borris, and the subject line is Call Mr Mark Borris, If You Are Still Alive.


What???

It's at times like those that I'm thankful I have a really strong junk e-mail filter!

I find the whole thing fascinating sometimes. I mean, who the hell clicks onto one that says 'Your immediate attention required,' from Colonel somebody-or-other in Africa, or supposedly from a bank you've never had any dealings with - or even one you have, because we all know banks don't do that sort of thing? Do you think anybody actually reads them? Isn't the world of the internet user just too sophisticated now? Maybe not.

Hahahahaha. I'm sorry, but that is so very funny. And it sounds like the title of a Tom Robbins book.

Lady India! I've missed you. Hello. I agree; it's funny.

I saw on TV here that somebody seriously believed such African bank account hoax and got broken because of it.

For me most unfamiliar mails from unfamiliar addresses are junks. I can tell by short glimpse.

Me, too. I thought we all did. Evidently not.
