I typically don’t bother posting spam because I get only boring stuff. Gibberish, Vitton bag offers, and other ridiculous things. This morning my attention came to this one:
“Overweight, broke, and in debt to Internet millionaire. Learn how here.
Go here”
First thought: ‘You insulting bastard. Who the fuck are you?’
Second thought: ‘Should not get insulted by a bot.’
Third thought: ‘Why would I want to go into debt with an Internet millionaire?’
That third one is when I started laughing. I know where they were going with this, but it does read like going into debt with an Internet millionaire is an aspiration. Guess some people need a sugar daddy/pimp/master to claim victory in life.

This one was pretty funny

Spammers should hire editors to avoid such mistakes. 🙂

I thought it was a joke at first. 🙂 Learn how to become overweight, go broke, and get into debt with an internet millionaire.

That’s what I thought too when I first read it. Guess it pays to read the spam folder when still waking up.

That sarcastic Long Island, NYC wry humor doesn’t take much to get it out of its lair does it Charles? You should think about writing a satire fantasy. That would be something different. Just a mindless thought from a poet. >KB Oh your cover is all set, your site info in place If you give me a time to post on the 25th you can have a quick look see in case it needs to be tweaked.

I’m Jewish too, which makes it worse. 🙂
I throw a lot of humor and wit into my books. I do have a series down the road that follows a group of bumbling idiots during a worldwide war. It’s less ridiculous than it sounds. I think.
Great about the cover. Could you post it around 9AM? I’m sure it’s fine.

Isn’t it funny how they are going to cure it all with just one program?.I don’t see how getting rich and being overweight have anything at all to do with each other. Am I going to have to go on a skinny diet in order to make my millions, or is that just something that will automatically happen when I get rich. Not likely. If I had millions, I would probably eat more. At any rate, I’d still be overweight. Do i have to go back to being skinny to have money…if so, I am in big trouble.

I really wonder if this ever tricks anybody. I’m guessing it’s more to trick people into getting computer viruses.

Ha ha, yes I had to read it a couple of times too! Some of the spam is hilarious! I had one the other day which was talking about how I needed to be tested to testicular cancer. Clearly the bot is not bothered about gender… 😀

I clicked the box that said people have to be registered and signed in to comment, and I haven’t had spam since.
You should see some of the spam I get in email now though. Wow.
