Check Your Inbox
Part of my job is to clean out our spam filters, looking for any “real” e-mails that have slipped in there. So I have to ask, has anyone actually purchased a replica watch from one of those spam vendors? How about cheap software? Viagra or Cialis (no prescription needed!)? Okay, surely you’ve applied for a mortgage with one of those great rates they offer. Maybe you’ve sent money to an unknown man in a West African country to help him out (you’ll triple your return).
Are enough people actually falling for this that it is worth a lot of somebody’s while to fill e-mail accounts with this garbage both in English and Cyrillic? If yes, what an even sadder commentary about humanity than even the political situation in America.

At least you can just delete that trash. Junk faxes really are illegal, but that doesn't stop them from coming usually at 3:00 AM, causing an immediate "Ohmygod, who died?" reaction.
I've wondered that too. Who are the people responding to these emails? Didn't they get the memo?! I guess sometimes people are just desperate to be parted from their money (and dignity)...
