Just got a spam e-mail from Joseph Smith, Purchasing Manager at Nobledee Trades Co. Ltd. in London that begins, "We are interested in purchasing your products and we sincerely hope to establish a long-term business relation with your steamed company."
I always thought you were a bit hot under the collar.
Maybe they are language challenged and really meant ESTEEMED
Dick,
Mr. Smith may be grammatically correct if you are producing and offering for sale steam engines.
Actually, I am not selling anything at all, although I do offer free lessons in deleting e-mails without hesitation. Also got an e-mail today - as I do from time to time - from someone in India who has looked at my website and will help me improve it (for a price). I don't think so, but I certainly admire his amazing internet skills, though. I don't have and have never had a website, but he was nevertheless able to locate it, look at it and evaluate it. Wow!
Reminds me of the joke where they send the junior engineer to get a bucket of steam to test the pistons on the steam engine.
The guy from India must have the ability to look into the future and wants to make sure he gets all your money when you contract someone to do your web site.
There are getting to be a lot of those folks that know things about us that we don't.
I keep running into people that know I have plenty of money and do not need to work anymore.
I tell them I am going to put them in my will because they are the only ones that know where my money is. That shuts them up in a hurry, and for good.
I wonder what Dick's company is steamed about?
I didn't get many spam emails when I had Earthkink. Now with Verizero (verizon) FIOS, I get almost none, like one a month.
Dick,
They are talking hot air. If you take up the offer you'll be in hot water.
What? Are you doubting I have relatives in Nigeria wanting to leave me money????
I can't count the number of times I've won the British Royal Lottery.
I just deleted one that said all I had to send was $150.00 holding fee to Fed-ex and the parcel would be delivered, oh the address and such was also asked for. Name address, country age sex and occupation.
I have them to say that they would like to purchase items and wanted to know about shipping, and method of payment. I responded by saying I have to know the color, size, quantity and right of left that was the end of the order.
Boy what a bunch of DORKS, and that is when you would like to stand them up against a wall and---
check your sights!
I've been trying to put them into my spam file when they show up. Yesterday I tried to move one and it literally disappeared while I was moving it. What's up with that?
It is best not to respond at all to any such emails since even though you are just having fun with them, they have no way of knowing if the emails they are sending are in fact reaching anyone but when you respond they then have a validated email address (yours) that they can sell to others.
These people watch this site very close! After
my posting I received 10 people having the parts
including Joseph Smith. You would think they would be a little more observing.
