Spam Twenty-One: Bringing Down The House

SPRING IS REALLY HERE NOW. Can you feel it? And with spring comes changes. For instance, apparently, Russian Women no longer want to meet me. For a few weeks there, it seemed my popularity in the former Soviet Union was soaring, but now, rather suddenly, I receive no more correspondence from these ladies. Also missing now that spring is here is Sex Related Zip Files. Since Week Sixteen, the Zip Files have been a staple on the chart. This week: nothing.

This week’s Bank Scam is a Dutch Online Cyber Lotto. Not that lame one, but the really famous one that everyone is talking about. Also, I don’t know what Super Trackstick is, but it’s back (with a single spam) and it “knows everywhere [I’ve] been.” Which seems more of a threat than a comfort.

But I guess I should relax. It’s spring, and as I read in a recent email: “At Spring, girls put on their boobs and legs. Don’t miss your chance! Simon says love your now, now!” Sage advice.

Nobody puts Chart in a corner!
