I recently got an email from an anonymous Yahoo email like this:

"Download Today!

Ringtones, Ringtones, Ringtones!

Get Ringtones Instantly!

Lady GaGa Ringtones!

They're Everyone's Favorites!

Get Them For FREE!

(link removed)"

I actually clicked on the link, and it had no sign to actually buy ringtones and tried to talk me into buying some service for $19.99/month. No thanks.

BTW I don't want any GaGa ringtones.

The user has nothing in her gallery, no faves, and couldn't even be bothered to upload an avatar. I'm guessing she's not an artist. :bloocross:

I've gotten reports from various users on my KaBlam! forum that they recieved that in a PM. Because the user didn't post anything on the site and hardly went on, I banned the user.

One of the admins who recieved it said that it looked like some prank a preteen girl and her friends would do during a slumber party (which would invlove Justin Bieber and Twilight)

^ THAT is DISTURBING

Really makes you want to weep for humanity. :bloosad:

People should learn that when it comes to the internet, you can be anyone. I see so many folks giving their personal details to everybody without even thinking of the risks.

Everybody is being fooled by those social communities. I mean Facebook looks okay. But you never know what's behind it.

I want so bad to tell the e-mailers that I have an inheritance or windfall from somewhere I've never heard about that I was born in the afternoon, just not yesterday afternoon. But discretion (a.k.a. the "delete" button) is the better part of valor.

Hello, my name is Vin, I am a master seduction artist, and I have developed an exciting sexy mind control technique that I am sharing with a select few men today. This sexy mind control technique will give you the ability to LEGALLY control a woman's mind and get her to do anything that you want her to do.

And when I say ANYTHING, I mean ANYTHING.......just use your imagination.

Now, these techniques are so EASY to learn, that you will master them in just a few days.

Here's the problem, these mind control techniques are so powerful that it may not be legal for too much longer for me to share them with other people.

So if you want to learn how to CONTROL a woman's mind, then you will need to watch my short video now while it's still LEGAL.

I contacted you regarding a business opportunity in our company.

My proposal to you is based on our company urgent need for a crude extract called BAXNI LIQUID HERBAL. Recently came to know through a reliable source that this same material our

company are buying from Russia at the rate of $35,000 USD/Gallon (5 LITERS) are available in India at the rate of $12,500,000.USD/Gallon (5 liters) and our company are not aware of my

discovery.

I am soliciting your sincere co-operation regarding my personal interest in this business transaction that would be profitable to you and me. It is my sincere wish to entrust you with this

project since I do not have the money to buy these materials and supply to my company. I intend to establish a mutual business relationship with you so that i can introduce you to our

company as the dealer.

Please your participation will not hinder you from your original business / activities but you and we will be making huge profits at the end of every supply made to the UK Company

anytime they visit India.
We await your response.

Best Regards,
Dr. David Marks.
How exciting! I have no idea what's going on, but I'll profit when a British company visits India! ::)

Just got an email from AshleyMadison.com, which helps people set up affairs. Their registered trademark is "Life is short. Have an affair." They conclude the message with:

Quote:

The #1 rule if you're having an affair
Never to do it with a single woman. Instead, date a married woman who has just as much reason to keep your affair a secret as you do.
Fantastic.

Cassini90125 02-01-2026 11:50 PM

I received two emails yesterday, informing me that my Sirius XM and Costco accounts had been terminated. I have never had, nor do I intend to ever have, accounts with either Sirius XM or Costco. Lol, try again, losers. ::)
