Vanity: I got this spam email

[ImAmericanFirst]

I hope this is the right place to ask about this. I rarely do vanity posts.

What should I do when I get an email like this? Should I report it? Or just ignore and delete as I normally do?

It reads..

SPAM, it's worldwide.

LOL! Good one.

I responded to one of these guys. I gave him my phone number. I told him to call.

He did.

I kept him on the phone for an hour. I told him to call again.

He did.

I kept him on the phone for another hour or so. I told him to call again.

He did. Then he got mad. He asked me if I knew just how much it cost for him to keep calling me.

I told him: I did.

I learned some new vulgarities that day.

It was fun.

The Manitou Springs Fruitcake Toss is this weekend. I entered an onager the last couple of years -- I made about 300' with a half-pound morsel.

This year I'm doing a ballista (like a crossbow, but the arms are powered by two sets of twisted rope). Don't know how well it will work, as I'm still building it.

My co-workers have an air cannon that can toss a 2-lb fruitcake over a quarter of a mile. You may have seen them on TV.....

It sure looks like the typical scam letter styled after the Nigerian Scam letters.

Thanks. I never reply to any of these nor do I ever click "unsubscribe" if there is such an option. When you click "unsubscibe" it only confirms to the sender that your email is indeed active and you'll receive even more.

I wasnt questioning whether or not I should reply to these emails. Normally I delete them then after I always wondered if I should have reported it to the authorities. So finally today I decided to ask someone.

Thanks for the links.

LOL! I've seen that (and others). Those guys have a LOT more free time and money than I do....

You're very welcome.

Why would you even open an email from someone you do not know?

Your thread has been hijacked. Remain seated. We are returning to the airport.

The hell we are. I'm hijacking this thread to Cuba!

I like your tagline. Good lord, is it Friday yet???

Thanks. :) Yours is good, too.

No! And I couldn't be more dismayed!
