A Note About the Absurdities of Spam

[dewline]

I want to note for whatever records survive these times the following: there is no way on or off this Earth, nor in Heaven, Hell, Limbo or any point in between those places I've named that Charles Koch is ever going to offer the likes of me money of any sort by way of a GMail account. Nor from an eircom.net address disguised as a GMail account for that matter.

Whoever you really are?

Nice try.

I have wondered how much spam absurdity is the perpetrators' inability to come up with something more plausible rather than a more cunning attempt to select for stupidity among respondents.

Yesterday I was thinking back to phishing e-mail I've gotten and, goodness, so much was easily dismissed at a glance.

"Agile" is not a word I normally apply to asshats, but:

AT&T's bill payment site was borked Monday; on Tuesday I received a text with a link to pay my bill. ...a long, obfuscated link.
