I seem to have become popular with the ladies
In particular dying old ladies with lots of money who either don’t have any heirs or don’t want their fortunes to be inherited by their children. In the last few weeks I’ve gotten lots of e-mails from dying old ladies asking me to help them.
Apparently my reputation that I’m a very charitable person is growing and they have all decided to contact me to see if I could help with donating their money to a worthwhile charity. Because donating money is hard. And they all are generously offering me a cut of the money to be donated. How sweet…
It seems I also am developing a reputation for moving large sums of money around. Lately I’ve been getting contacted by bank managers in Hong Kong and various African and Middle Eastern nations requesting my assistance moving large sums of unclaimed money out of their country. You know I’ve been working to become a master of international finance and it seems to be working. Apparently all I need is a checking AND a savings account!
Oh, and I apparently just won a Puegeot 206 from Puegeot Automotive UK. As soon as I respond to the yahoo.co.hk e-mail address Puegeot will be shipping me my new car! No, I don’t think it’s weird at all that the UK division of an international auto company would need to use Yahoo Hong Kong to host their e-mail why do you ask?
Now if you’ll excuse me there’s some oceanfront property in Arizona I need to go and see…

you know, gmail has really good spam filters and you can set it up for all of your email accounts AND then download the mail via pop3, without the spam.
I’m just sayin’
BTW, good luck with the Puegeot. That would be a sweet ride to have!

I’m using Outlook 2007 and it’s spam filters are pretty robust. Very few pieces of Spam managed to get through to my inbox - maybe 1 or 2 a month at most.
However, I do regularly check out the spam folder just to look for the occasional false positives.
I used to use Spam Bayes with Outlook 2000/XP but since Outlook 2003 I haven’t needed it because Outlook is surprisingly effective…
