Keeping that flame alive


Old School Spam

I came home today to a letter sitting on the counter of my kitchen. It was it a nice personally addressed envelope. I thought wow someone sent me money for my laptop fund or for my ZHOP fund. I opened the letter and it was 3 pages front and back. The front page was pretty much a cover page with big letters on it that said “MAKE 75,000 DOLLARS” and in smaller letters near the bottom it said “THIS IS NOT A PYRAMID SCAM”. Well I sat down and read everything and it turned out to be a big pyramid scam. It wanted you to send a dollar pack to the sender and to a  list of people and in turn those people would send you a dollar and put your name on a new list or something crazy like that. Since Gmail is so good at protecting me from spam I guess spammers have decided to use good ole fashioned mail.

I have a good idea why doesnt everyone that reads this thing send me a dollar. Thats a sure thing to get me five dollars.

Seriously though:
