Whoohoo! Today I am an INTERNET USER!

[Richard Steele]

After all this time, I FINALLY got my first lameass
PhishXpedition eMail!!!

I feel a strange, indefinable sense of VALIDATION!

SNIP:
"Dear valued PayPal® member:

They must be getting DESPERATE if they are Phishin' yer old pal Dick;
Not only have I never had a PayPal account, I've never even had one
of those 'credit cards' that you need to get one.
And that message ALMOST looks like it was written by a native english-speaker,
but it JUUUUUST misses. Them tenses is tricky, ain't they?

I haven't clicked the provided link yet;
What kinda info could I supply in response to
really BURN their asses?
Post your EVUL-EST thoughts/suggestions!

1. My dear dicksteele.......

Good for you, dodging this nefarious bullet!

It's not always easy to identify the phishers!

Alas, I have no suggestions...... :cry:

:loveya: :hug:

2. Well, this was hardly the 'FASTEST' bullet in the box.

I have no PayPal acount, so they blew their cover 4 words in!
"Dear valued PayPal member"....BZZZT!

Hell, it's been at least 12 years since I have had ANY "acount"
with anyone, anywhere.
I guess I am pretty much "no-account", lol!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. True that!

Still, you have to give them credit for trying, however ineptly!

And, NO, you are not a 'no-account'!

Sheesh.........:eyes:


:loveya: :hug:

4. My DEAR (and i do mean DEAR) CP....

I take great PRIDE in fitting the LITERAL description
of "no account".

We all choose the carrots we chase in this world.
Some people wish to be NOTICED, and
the most successful of their ilk aspire to be REMEMBERED.
I pity those people.

I am among those who wish to be left alone, and I aspire
to the dream of complete INVISIBILITY.

"No-account" is a compliment, an award, a ribbon I would wear
PROUDLY if I actually existed.
KnowhutImean?

5. Whenever I get one of those phish e-mails,

I fill in all the blanks with obscenities.
