Friday, March 23, 2007Ordered a Dell computer?
I just got a phishing e-mail saying that my order for a Dell computer had been confirmed, and would be sent once my bank details had been confirmed.
I never ordered a Dell computer. This is a horrible steal-your-money scam. If you get one and have recently bought a Dell, be warned.
Comments:
Seen a lot of those emails myself lately. "We've approved your loan application." "Thanks for your Viagra purchase!"
So, they're not only sending me offers of Viagra and debt, but now have the nerve to assume I'd just go ahead and buy it? What's next? Do I need to wait for the delivery man to show up at the door, assuming I'm gonna sign off on the two-ton crate of Cialis he got an order for? Gah.
I've become almost immune to these phishes, but that in itself is a bad attitude--necessary to stay alert, sigh. I remember one from a few years ago that congratulated me on signing up to receive gay dating messages, and saying that if I wanted to unsubscribe, I should call this number. Yeah, I'm not that stupid, guys!
Ah, the dating scams. I got one on my mobile phone once. 'Someone who knows you wants to ask you out!', said the message. 'Well,' I reflected, 'they can't know me very well; it's not like I keep my boyfriend a secret or anything...'

Right now I'm getting deluged with offers to enlarge my penis, which is driving me crazy. Is my penis too small? (checks) Why yes, yes it is! It's so small I can't even see it! Quick, bring me sugar pills, snake oil and unnecessary surgery! I sort of feel an urge to take my hat off to the gay dating messages idea, though. It's got style; I can just hear the cries of 'Agh! No! Not the gay!', followed by frantic dialing. I've got lots of reasons why you shouldn't be homophobic, but look, here's another one. It'll cost you money! << Home ArchivesJuly 2006 August 2006 September 2006 October 2006 November 2006 December 2006 January 2007 February 2007 March 2007 April 2007 May 2007 June 2007 July 2007 August 2007 September 2007 October 2007 November 2007 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 March 2008 April 2008 May 2008 June 2008 July 2008 August 2008 September 2008 October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 June 2009 July 2009 August 2009 September 2009 October 2009 November 2009 December 2009 January 2010 February 2010 March 2010 April 2010 May 2010 |
