Post from Wifegrit — Junk Mail

By Wifegrit

Junk emails drive me crazy. I have an Outlook folder for them, so when I receive a junk email most automatically go into the junk folder. But some still get through the filter.

Emails such as Belly Fat Blast, Real Estate Investing, Overstock Auction, Backtoschool (Grant funding maybe available!), Affordable health rates, Pimsleur Approach (Learn a language in 10 short days!) The Spacebag ( Buy 1 get 2 sets free).

And I wonder do people fall for these? Do they actually purchase these products?

The worst type are the scammers. People must fall for these emails, even with their abysmal spelling and poor grammar.

Here is one I just receive from a Maj. Kevin Cochie:

Hello,

We have some funds to move out of the middle east. With 30% gurrantte out for you. Your own part of this deal is to find a safe place where the funds can be sent to.If you are interested i will furnish you with more details”

Sincerely,

U.S. Army Maj. Kevin Cochie

Like the military needs me to move funds. Again I wonder who believes this? These types of emails make me so mad. Such a scam, and so hard to trace these criminals.

Last summer we were trying to sale Bullgrit’s father’s car. I posted it on Craig’s List. I have sold many items on Craig’s List and have never before had a problem. I received a response to our ad from someone that was “working” for the UN and really, really wanted the car but they were out of the country, blah blah blah. He needed me to send him money so he could buy our car? Really?

You have to be so careful and smart and if it is too good to be true, it is.
