ah, but what are they trying? not, probably, to convince anyone that they are a loan company. the evil spam plot behind that message is probably nothing like so straight forward.

I just loved the Nigeria in the subject line--as we all know excellent investment opportunities from Nigeria should never be discarded.
I did come across one that was along the lines of "Checks from Canada! You've heard how Canada has all that social protection stuff? It's in their Constitution (insert photo of typewritten words) that companies need to redistribute their profits to ordinary citizens. Americans can get in on this too! Just sign up, and I'll show you how to select the best companies to deposit checks right into your checking account..." I didn't click on the link, so I don't know if you sent him $49.99 for instructions, or gave him a pass to draw on the checking account as part of the sign up.

Holding Corpse Desecration? omg that's just best. I haven't had that good ones ;-) But maybe I should pay more attention - most of my spam is thanks God seperated by gmail, only very few go to inbox...

It goes in bouts--we had to reset the filter when it decided to block my dad, and since then we get little wavelets.

I've gotten one or two of those, "I loved chatting with you, here's some photos." Ick. I've never clicked the link, but I don't even want to know.
