Angry Anyone got any SCAM looking emails lately?

I got an email supposedly from EBAY today saying all I have to do to enter the contest to win a Ford Explorer is sign in. Well, I typed in a bogus name and just hit a bunch of letters for the password and it accepted it and gave me a number that was my "special number". A little bit later I went back in and typed in something totally different for a User ID and password, and of course it accepted it again and gave me that same #.

Sound bogus?

Dude, 10 1/2 mm is a tough one to explain to the ladies!
Try popping some more pills or hang a rock off a roach-clip and see if you can attach it to your 10 1/2mm... It might stretch a little over time!

I thought he was telling the truth at 10 1/2 inches. I just thought he measured three times.


What I really want to know is why he will be under a bar stool in Nov. Whats gonna be going on down there?

Responding to "contests" and sweepstakes are the new tools for getting around the "No Call" telemarketing restrictions. Notice you have to agree to receive phone calls from them in the fine print!
