    Replying just tells them that it's a valid email address, so they're likely to keep sending you spam from other addresses...

    I'm more concerned that AdSense seems to think that you want sensual e-cards, though it strikes me as one of those things I probably don't want to know.

    The larger concern should be that AdSense believes that my directing someone to "Go die in a fire" makes me the target market for something like that.

    Oh man.... I love those idiots! I respond to them with such horrifying voracity, such insulting cut downs that tear them to the core. I look forward to those fishing Emails. I have fun with them, when I've got a minute to type something that makes them question thier life on this planet. LOL

    Dude, really that is a dumb question. Stupidity goes far deeper than imaginable, just like intelligence. Somewhere in the world there is someone that is a bigger moron than Einstein was a genious - they just aren't famous.

    Fine in theory, but I feel like achieving that level of stupidity would require nine lives. After all, it takes only a fraction of that level of stupidity to get yourself killed. Those are the Darwin award winners. Yes, I do believe that there are those who have the potential to have that level of stupidity, but fortunately (hopefully) natural selection removes them from the gene pool before the stupidity completely matures.




    I need to start checking my junk mail more often, as I never get that kind of stuff in my inbox. Though, I did once get an email from someone posing as a bank holding one of my credit card accounts. He wanted me to verify my user name and password. Sure, buddy, I'll get right on that.

    Yes someone is dumb enough to fall for it and they have. If it hasn't worked before they wouldn't keep doing it.

    Sigh, I never get all the good scam emails
    I hope, when I get rich and famous, that I can have a correspondence with one and then go to the address he gives me and throw vodka in his face. That'll teach him!

    anyone who falls for this sort of trap deserves to have all their money drained. darwinism at work. if you are too stupid to be trusted with money then you don't deserve to have any.
