Bogus emails, funny!!!
I am so tired of them, and I spend way to much time blocking them!
This morning I got one, offering me some insane amount of $
The mail was full of crappy spelling, poor punctuation and of course, it was a load of crap!!
So, before I blocked it, I replied in HUGE blue text, " If your going to send bogus emails, at least make an attempt at proper grammar" Then I blocked it!!!

There is a site that I bookmarked on my work computer of a guy who makes a hobby of responding to these emails. He posts his responses and the emails he gets back, and he makes these people do the craziest things in their attempt to get money from him. He'll go on for months with the same poor sucker, making up nuttier and nuttier things (for example, he sends pictures of the white-trashiest people you will ever see and says they are relatives, then he'll start saying because of amount of money involved, he thinks they ought to use code names, etc.). I read all the way through on one of his projects, and by the end, he was convincing the OP to invest money with HIM! It is hilarious!!
Maybe a new hobby for you, NVMommy!

ive seen that website its funny.
i got one the other day saying some person with the same surname was involved in a plane crash and they listed the people in the crash (fake crash) so i replyed back saying that onone they mentioned had the same name as me and told them where to stick it.
i also like to reply back to them too, i got one once so i replied back showing all the mistakes they made, it was from a bank which i dont even bank at wanting to look into upcoming inheritance that i didnt have coming. i like to wind them up as much as they wind me upKelly & DH Alex ♥

Thats funny, I'll have to check out his site for a laugh!
I love screwing with people when I am in the mood, otherwise the majority of the time I just block them!
I love the guy's who call you about extending your vehicle warranty ROFLMAO
Did you know, they wont extend warranties on my 1939 chevy coupe, 1968 pontiac lemans OR my 1985 Honda civic?!!! they ask me, "Dont you have any NEW cars?"
I say, " why, if I had a new piece of disposable crap then I would need a warranty" heheheeeeeProud wife to Randy

I found if I blocked.. it showed them it was an active addy and they would sell it to someone else.. *sigh*
the car warranty... I said 'which one?' and they hung up on me! whenI called the number back to give them the what for... the number you dialed is no longer in service! grrrrrrrr my cell phone too!

I probably would have said:
" If you're going to send bogus emails, at least make an attempt at proper grammar"
