I just finished wading through the nasty spam in my email filter. I have to do this every day to check for those few legitimate emails that get caught with the garbage. I always have the usual scams, ruses, and rip-offs and it seems there is always some new angle to part me from my money.

I think there are now six different people who desperately want to give me millions of dollars but evidently can�t read simple directions. I have forwarded them my full name and instructions to wire the cash to the local Western Union which I give them the information for —— that and my email they have is sufficient to get the cash to me.

Alas they seem too confused to do this and keep pleading with me to give them a bank account number to deposit to.

I even offered to let them mail me a check General Delivery at the local Post Office. Nope.

I guess they just can�t see past their well meaning desperation to enrich me and don�t realize there is more than one way to give me money.

Then there is the ad for the colon cleanse that will make you lose twenty pounds overnight. I got a nasty visual on that one and was afraid of the bathroom for a while after reading it.

Even more scary is the thought there is someone right now sitting on a toilet with their feet on the bathroom scales hoping to have a twenty pound dump. Yeesh!
