    New Email Scam Going Around

    There's a new email scam going around, thought I'd share here as I've been getting a few everyday.

    Goes something like this:

    Good Day,
    Can you please provide quote on 60,000 copies of the flyer printing with the following specs.

    1. measures 8..5' x 11'
    2. 80# Gloss Text
    3. 0.25 - White boarder
    4. One sided
    5.Full color
    6. what method of payment do you accept.
    7.It should be flat

    God bless you,
    Bishop Joe Daniels(Head Bishop).....


    They even pretend to be a Bishop, how nice. There's a few key things to know it's a scam:
    1. They won't send it to your actual email address.
    2. They don't have a real domain name for their email address.

    I haven't responded but it's most likely a variation of a scam email going to printers and copier dealers a few years back. You respond, they say how you have to prepay for a certain shipping company and they pocket the cash.

    See, if I was made dictator for a year I'd fix all these problems. I'd hire the best computer people and those assassins that shot Osama, track these people down to the ends of the earth and have them shot in their butt cheeks until they are forced to jump off a cliff and into a river of man-eating crocodiles. I'd televise the whole thing too. Give me one year and no one in the US will EVER have another spam email, computer virus or trogan, or financial scam...I Guarantee it!

    They tried scamming us about 4 months ago.
    Accidents don't just happen. They must be carelessly planned.

    Re: New Email Scam Going Around

    There's a few things that make this email look a bit dodgy.

    1. Have you ever heard of a bishop called "Joe".
    2. Poor English on the "printing of the flyer" sentence.
    3. "it should be flat". What should be flat??!?!?!?!!?
    4. What's a boarder?

    Scammers and spammers should all be skinned alive, dipped in brine, raped with a cactus, pissed on, hung, drawn and quartered and then set on fire.
    It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

    Hit it.

    This is probably an email from aab1 since he can't keep his printers working!!!

    Ha. I'm actually going through a lot of his posts that I somehow missed. Freakin' hilarious. I'm just waiting for my rep to be wiped to zero because I just gave manuals a negative for the two he gave me back in July when he called me a schmuck. lmao.

    We need to change the name from the war on terror to the war on spam.
