So recently there has been a lot of talking about email spam. I never got any random spam. But just today I was reading my emails and an email came in asking me to claim some dead guy's money. I checked the email header, looked up the IP and found out it was from Hungary. The email said he was from London.

Discuss recent random spams.

I get no spam. Ever.

Once I got a hilarious telephone call.

"YOUR SON HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED PAY RANSOM."

It was obviously a scam, because I'm 12. ^_^

Another one:
"Hello sir! Please take part in a survey. *after the survey* Thank you sir! We entered your name in 4D(that's the lottery to you non-singaporeans)."

A month or so later...

"Hi! Remember we entered you in a lottery? Well, you won! We just need some administrative fees..."

Then I'm like:
"What's the point of winning money if I have to pay fees? roll "
