If All These Are True, Then I’m the World’s Richest Person
I can’t believe this! My inbox is filled with spam. I would understand it if it’s from those random thingamajigs that automatically post stuff on people’s blogs, but what I’m getting is completely psycho!
I’ve got 16 messages from different people who claim that either I’ve won millions or billions, or that they’re naming me as their sole heiress (Hello, Paris Hilton?) of their entire fortune (and when I say fortune, I mean, FORTUNE). I’m not a cynic, and I do believe that a lot of people are altruistic, but come on! $36, 350 000.00?! I don’t think so.
If you don’t believe me on these, I’ll list down all the “individuals” who’ve sent me these kinda messages:
- Peugot Automobiles Lottery (I don’t have a car, let alone a Peugot)
- Swiss Lotto (I’ve never been to Switzerland, nor joined a lottery game)
- mcharles029
- Mrs. Gloria Caldwell
- Mrs. Joy Obiaku
- Mrs. Maria Koffi
- Dr. Kolbe Horst Walter
- Mr. Emmanuel Paulso
- Rose Grand
- Barrister Paul Richard (Wow, a Brit Barrister - or not)
- Bethel Kone
- sandrabamba01
- Fondazion Di Vittorio
- UK National Lottery
- Benjamin Johnson
- willard11tom
And no, I didn’t pull these names out of a hat. The thing that gets me is, I didn’t even sign up for anything or whatever, and I end up getting all these stuff. If even half of these are true, I’d probably be swimming in money (of different currencies) by now (hey, a swimming lesson! Cool!)
Anyway, for those who’ve received these kinda emails, do not, and I repeat, DO NOT reply back to them, let alone give them any personal info. These are not only spammers, but scammers to boot. Instead of getting money, you might end up losing a lot instead.
Also, please, please, please help me get rid of these pesky emails! I beg of you! I’ll give you $36 M if you do, out of the goodness of my heart. Really. I’ll pay you with the money I’m getting from these scammers/spammers. (And if you haven’t noticed yet, I was being sarcastic).
Rawr. This really gets to me.

Yeah manz. It used to get on my nerves too. If you are getting more junk mails than non junk mails, something is very very wrong somewhere. Anyway, I kind of gave up on this.
