Default My SPAM Email

Just got home a short while ago and decided to check my email. In SPAM I found the following:
1. "1 Glass of Soda Water Flushes Out Fat Faster Than Regular Water" (Did not know that. Thanks for the info.)
2. Two separate emails from two different email addresses informing me of "Payment Attempt Failure For Renewing Your Subscription For ICL0UD Storage". (The "zero" instead of the "O" in ICL0UD was in both emails. I don't use the cl0ud so I ain't payin'!!)
3. "Delivered Notification ID#9675466-8549 That You May Be The Winner" with "A Delivery Fee May Apply". (At least they were honest about the "Delivery Fee" part, but whatever I may have won...you can keep it.)
4. "Most People With Type 2 Diabetes Live With It For Years Without Realizing They Have It" with the added assurance that "This Message Is From A Trusted Sender". (They must be for real if they are a trusted sender!)
5. Then just before I clicked off my SPAM this came in: "Renewal Confirmed: Keep Enjoying GS Personal" with the added statement "Your Quick Response Is Valued". (I'm not enjoying GS Personal. I don't even know what GS Personal is.
And regardless of how much my response is valued...it ain't enough!)

So what's your point? Everyone gets spam similar to that.

Thanks for sharing. I got a chuckle out of it that enhanced my morning coffee. 🙂

Spammers using a title and than different numbers after that making it impossible to block all.

Yes, tiresome but one can usually find some amusement in it

The Nigerian ones offering $millions seem to have disappeared (and I never did get to benefit from one)

I consider anything I get in my email that they’re not in my email contacts, it’s SPAM, I don’t open them.

I miss that now I keep getting these Russian women throwing themselves at me. I would get a couple but do no think my wife will go for it.

Anything that’s not one of your contacts delete it, it’s SPAM, why would anybody open any email or text that they have no idea who it is delete it why take the chance!
