I sure hope this filtering of emails doesn't impact upon my assisting my Nigerian Prince friend....:dozey:

I don't know, lately the U.K. has been sending me offers.

Also, I won the Australian lottery! Twice!

I haven't gotten any offers from some distant relative in a long time. maybe because i only read the stuff from people/companies i know now

Do none of you use gmail?

If you do, you must be purposely reading all your spam folder mail.

Yeah, I've never gotten one of these.. or maybe it went straight to the spam folder.

Use msn mail, but I do check it in case anything important may have gotten in there.

What? You got that email too?

Awesome!

I just checked my spam folder, I also got $250,000 from the United Nations and $500,000 from the Nigerian Senate!

I can't believe they chose me!

You'd be surprised how many ****ing stupid people fall for this stuff.

Three weeks ago a text message went around saying to call this number because something is wrong with your debit card. So we probably closed out 100 cards a day for a week because of stupid people giving them their debit card numbers.
