Talking Interesting Spam emails you get

So, I keep getting spam about how I won the lottery in the UK, Nigeria, Hong Kong you name it. Normally, I delete them because I know they are a complete scam.

However, I found it funny to start sending back ridiculous responses for what they send me. Like personal information they ask you such as this.

Name:
Address:
Nationality:
Country:
Age:
Occupation:
Sex:
Phone Number:

Now this is what I have started sending back.

Name: Juanna Momma
Address: 69 Hershey Highway Intercourse, PA 11111
Nationality: Cracka
Country: United States you MOFO
Age: 85
Occupation: Prostitute
Sex: Yes
Phone Number: 867-5309

Do you guys get anything as ridiculous as I do? LOL

I don't respond, because then they will have your email and can send you more spam. Bots send that stuff out at random.

Anyone remember Miss Cleo- the "psychic" on the TV commercials. The one that was supposed to be Jamaican, but had an Irish accent?

My wife used to get e-mails from her all the time, saying "Karen, I have important information for you, you need to contact me IIMEDIATELY!"

It kind of made the "psychic" abilities a bit suspect, as my wife's name is Lori.

^ And if she was psychic, why didn't she know the cops were going to show up at her door?

Email/Internet = Media Discussion.

I posted one on my personal website... supposedly from a soldier who was dying of cancer yet was still in Iraq.
