Those poor people emailing me

March 28, 2008 | By valmg |

I get anywhere from thirty to about a hundred emails a day. I use Thunderbird, which has a built in junk filter for spam emails. I have to check the junk filter once a day because somehow emails that shouldn’t be ending up in there are. I didn’t know it was a problem until I couldn’t understand why one of my contest winners didn’t respond to my email. I happened to go into the junk folder and found their reply, amongst the tons of emails trying to convince me I need to buy viagra, jewelry and drugs. Oh, don’t let me forget the emails from people wanting to help me claim money so we can both get rich or the people asking me to donate money to them. I have an idea. Maybe the people that need my help getting money or that are asking that I just give them money should buy some penny stocks. A few cents and maybe they’ll be as rich as they’re trying to tell me I’ll be.
