Every day I come home and delete an endless series of messages promising me untold millions, if I would only just cooperate by sending information, money, or some other such thing.
Time to accumulate a tally of how much money I'm giving up!
I think it's important to keep in mind that I'm just showing the spam messages which are trying to convince me to give up information or put money into an account (the Nigerian 419 Scam or equivalent) and not messages which are trying to convince me to buy drugs, send my personal information for a guaranteed job, or send me to a sex site. I also intend to keep a running total of the amount of money I've supposedly won, inherited, or should otherwise help bring into this country.
Of course all of this is complete and utter bullshit--a total scam. That it works sufficiently for people to still send these messages boggles my mind: after receiving thousands of these messages over the years, how is it one message manages to percolate through someone's mail box and get someone to go "ah! of the thousands of scam messages you're real!"?
