I just have people telling me that I can work from home. Where can I sign up for the more interesting ones?

My personal favourite was the one that told me-

'DID YOU KNOW THAT THE MAJORITY OF MEN HAVE A BELOW AVERAGE PENIS SIZE?'

On face value that makes no sense but if you think about it it's possible...

Instead of "Lose 20 lbs" and "Increase Penis size" it should be "Redistribute your weight"

If some of the guys have like 14-inch penis's yeah, but the highest on record is something like 12. Don't ask me how I know that, I just do. <.<

I won't - don't worry.
That being said, it all depends on what the average is, and what the smallest is. That being said, I request leave of this conversation on grounds of information that isn't necessary for me to know.

Haha, examples in 1 and 2 are awesome.

Sadly I've only had the standard, 'This is [bank-name]', 'You are the millionth visitor/you have won' and 'I represent the estate of Prince [yadda-yadda]' type things.

As said by my friend's 6 year old brother: "it not about reaching the bottom of the well, it's about wreaking havoc on the sides"

Well the thing is that if it's stupid but it works then it isn't so stupid, and sadly there are still people who fall for that nonsense.

I've said before on similar threads that I've never gotten spam, or scam emails. I might just be lucky, but it might also be because I have a habit of deleting 90% of all emails before I even read them.

Well, it never actually happened, but it would be hilarious.

The main source of junkmail I get is from this one company who keeps sending me a penis enlargement product constantly. I don't get much more, but I hear there are some better ones.

I always like classics like "The Porn Name Game" which people ask you your porn name which is comprised of answers every bank asks for security like first pet's name and street you grew up on.

My mom got one that claimed to be from Glocalnet, but was written in poor Swedish (we're talking Google translate) and was sent from a Gmail account.

I saw an advert with a man stood in the middle of two 'average looking' women and saying that you could earn loads of cash by clicking on the link.

The worst bit was the fact that I saw the same guy in the same picture but he had been edited to be against a skyline with the sun behind him and two scantily-clad women beside him. The person editing the picture had deleted half of his hair and both women had obvious blue outlines around their hair where they had been edited in

You cannot beat this story. It's very long, but it gets worth it.

Seems legit.

I think credit card companies themselves should pose with dodgy sounding addresses and links like that. It's a good way of telling who's too stupid to ever have a credit card.
