Did I mention I hate spammers...

I'll also mention that I hate it when people can't speak English, yet try really really hard to get their point across. Well, the following e-mail I got really makes me mad (Hulk-mad, even).

From: Trina Babb

hi Trina i hope this is your mailbox.
I was like to see you the other day. I expect you are really had like the New York.
So much so much happening all the time, lots of great opportunities.
And speaking of opportunities, the deal I was speaking you about day before embraces a company
called Tex-Homa (TXHE).
It's already growing up, but the big info isn't even
out yet, so there's still time. I have got this shares already and made
2000. I suggest you to do the same today.

Hope this helps you out. I'll see you this weekend.
Yours Trina Babb


First, Trina is sending an e-mail to her friend Trina? Weird, but moving on.
Second, Trina seems to have an IQ of 60 and a well-used Nigerian-English dictionary.
Third, who's the stupid bastard who keeps these people alive by taking the advice of idiots that can't put a sentence together? This particular scam is meant to inflate the price of the stocks of Tex-Homa, so the spammers who bought the stock for pennies can sell their stocks for big-people money and make a crap-load of money off the idiots who invested in Tex-Homa.
Fourth, I reiterate my hatred for spam and the butchers of the English language. Hmm, I guess that includes most of America. Oh well. Bollocks to that.
