What I am
talking about comes in many forms in our inboxes and various social networking
sites as well as via our mobile phones now. We are constantly bombarded by it
in so many forms. It is still incredible to me, the sheer amount of it that ends up in
my spam folder every single day. I mean with some of the titles and
misspellings, did they truly think someone would be reading any of it?
I clean
out my spam/junk or bulk folder several times a week. I cannot tell you how
many times I have found email that should not be there in that folder. So I
simply cannot trust that my email is smart enough to know all that I want to
see. Hence I get to skim the titles of all the things in that folder. I am sure
you have a smattering of most of these yourself.
Something
unthinkable is happening with Publishers Clearing house! Gasp! I am certain it
is only the fact that no one is buying whatever they are currently advertising.
Fantastic! Avon is hiring in my area. Let me just run out and apply for that
right now. Oh, I can’t really apply since I pay to start my own business with
that. I can save 50% on freshwater pearls. Wow, there is something I simply
cannot live without is some freshwater pearls.
Christine
has added me as a contact on TWOO and wants to connect with me. Wahoo! Wait,
who is Christine and what in the blank is TWOO? Car Stuff has some fast moving
items for sale. I better jump right on that. I simply cannot live without some
fast moving products for my car! There are free cell phones for me and I can
win $50,000 from facebook also! Christian singles are dying to meet me. Only
me, no one else!
Someone wants
to know did I take it yet? I have no idea nor do I care. Another title tells me
to Be Ready When Opportunity Knocks. Well I am continually open to new things
and committed to learning something daily so I feel pretty ready for anything
knocking. Oh and there is a check waiting for me. Apparently I have been chosen
to help with liquidating someone’s estate in a foreign country I cannot even
pronounce. Joy!
Last but
not least, what about the pharmacy that I can buy any drug I need? Obviously soft Cialis, Viagra, and Levitra
are drugs that I am missing out on. I can get them in
one day also!
Truly if I
am to believe what is in my spam folder, I can have anything I want at any time
I want. All for very cheap or free and in some cases Win them! I can have a
life of luxury and date whom I want. There is a dating service out there for
every single taste. The Canadian pharmacy is ready at the drop of a hat to ship
products to me!
I do not
know how I ended up on all these lists to get these emails. I truly hope no one
or very few people out there really fall for these. If it quacks like a duck, then
it probably is a duck. If there are major misspellings in the title, then it’s
more than likely spam. That is how they get past the filters in many ways to
actually get into your normal inbox.
With this
post, I am poking fun and making light of a serious subject that seriously
annoys many people. Most spam is ignorable and certainly not worth getting
uptight about. In many cases, most people never even see the spam that bypasses
their inbox. However, if you want to get a good laugh sometime, go check out
your spam folder. I bet you see something humorous that makes you giggle just
like I do when I clean mine out. What is the best spam to date in your inbox?
