What is your most ridiculous Spam offer? Polly


IT's my week for the Nigerian Bank Scam. 4 times this week so far!
The ones I enjoy include offers to refinance (my apartment?) and the
ones which offer Viagra alternatives in such creative ways.... Upper and
lower case mixed letters, weird phrasing options, and one which said
Jesus wanted me to buy their drug! Umm hmmm.

It's my month for "your refill has been shipped" spams.
I am apparently being sent refills for dozens of drugs I never had a
prescription for in the first place.
I suppose something has to fill the void left by the disappearence of
all those emails telling me what celebreties wear Rolex watches.

I find it rather amusing to receive Spam telling me I can get my
prescription drugs filled cheaper ...

My drugs are paid for by my insurance - I don't spend a penny on them myself
How can I get them any cheaper than *that*?

My favourites are the once that offer enhancement on my penis. I have
pondered replying to them saying that as a woman I have no need for their
services, but never have ;-)


Of course you do! After all, we women have no where to go but bigger (can't
get any smaller than non-existent). :-)

Why are all the drug offeres for things I cannot use? Don't have a need
for Viagra (not unless I go in for that drastic surgery), and cannot use
anything containing codiene. No-one is offering happy-pills this month...

Ooh! I love that one. I always wondered if they got any takers but I
just read in the newspaper that they do. There are people innocent or
greedy enough to fall for it. You don't have to send them any money,
you have to TAKE it to them in Nigeria.

Gee I feel kinda left out...or perhaps I live in a more virtuous
neighborhood? I've never received any of those spams.

I knew I had a lot of neighbors 'working from home' but never imagined
they were naked. At least I keep my jammies on!

You ladies crack me up. A definate breath of fresh air.

Oh yes, I've heard from her too. Maybe she should get a job and then he
wouldn't have to work every evening.

You don't need to buy any happy pills. Your own
Chocolate Buttons should make you happy enough. Of
course I may be wrong, never having tasted any of
those famous Buttons. (Ahem!)
