You just be sure to send me your social security number and the number and expiration date of one of your credit cards, and I’ll be sure to remember you when I come into my UN largesse.

You won’t forget your friends now, will you?

There never has been a good time to be ignorant, but now is a particularly bad time and it’s only going to get worse.

Unfortunately, not being able to spare such probably kept me from receiving $1,000,000.00, which sure would come in handy about now.

C’est la vie … 🙁

I already know that trick, though. The email, of course, is never from where it purports to be.

I have received Nigerian-type spam purporting to be from the FBI ( Federal Bureau of Investigation) but the e-mail return is some generic g-mail or hotmail address: definitely not the FBI.

Check the e-mail return if you haven’t deleted the spam yet, Neo. I would bet you dollars to donuts that the return e-mail has nothing to do with the UN.

(My apologies to any Nigerians out there.)
