Here are the latest email scams I've received: Clearly, you watching too much porn.

There are about 7 billion people on the planet. I have no idea how many of them are on the internet, but assume roughly 50% - that's 3.5 billion people. Judging by what some people say[^], the proportion of dumb people on the internet is pretty high. But, for argument's sake, let's assume it's around 1%. That's 35 million dumb people. If you can steal $1* from each of those people, most people would consider that a success. * Unless it's a Zimbabwean dollar.

That's a very strange scam. How do they know you're watching too much porn? ;P

If dumb people fall for that how are they not already broke?

Richard Deeming

How could they be broke when they've won the Spanish Lottery, and been given so much money for helping those nice people from Nigeria to move their millions of dollars out of the country? :rolleyes:

Because I have free money to send you of course! You'd never go broke with all this free money I'm just giving away. I just need you to put in some credentials here...

If you keep your money in your mattress and only have an empty bank account for receiving such funds; then you're safe.

If I received an email that said to hit a link, I'm not sure I could resist. Do it. Do it now!

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

In my everyday life I get sometimes the impression there are only 10% intelligent People on this planet ;P

The real question is: Is there such a thing as too much porn? :D

It's an OO world.

{
public void DoWork()

throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}

10%? That high? It seems more like we're all at varying levels of un-intelligence :) There are probably rare exceptions, but I can't think of any.
