What to answer..

Fun things to answer when a help desk asks the answer to the secret question on your account.

1) I already answered it when I signed up.

2) No idea. I'm trying to hack the account and I need the answer to the secret question so that I can change the password.

3) For security reasons and the safety of my account, I cannot tell you.

4) What do you need to know that for?

5) Oh the nerve! Next thing I know you'll be asking for my bank account number.

6) I'm trying to change my password, I'm not applying for a job at the secret service. Sheesh.

7) If I knew the answer, I wouldn't have contacted you.

8) I don't think I have an account with you, and if I do, it really shouldn't be such a big secret.

9) Curiosity killed the cat.

10) The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind...

Message for my entrecard droppers

Hey I haven't abandoned this godforsaken place, I've been extremely busy with work,  and no days off for a while. The half hour I spend dropping cards is a half hour I can sleep, haven't got even 6 hours sleep since the end of June when things got crazy busy. I expect work to return back to normal by the end of July and will be back to dropping daily then :)

The best one yet

I skipped this one, admitting defeat.

You gotta love 'em

Seen today..

I added WTF as a second word and it let me through, imagine that! I'll always wonder now... WTF was it really??

Captchas for clairvoyant people

Seen yesterday at the site where I sign in every day. This screen shot is not modified.

This just gets better and better

this is a true screen shot, I didn't alter it.

Just stand on your head I guess.. 

The captchas monster strikes again

.. I just saw this one a few minutes ago

Don't worry about being human, you now need to be superhuman.

Email: (see if this one bites)

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am sorry to encroach into your privacy in this manner, I found your
listed in the Trade Centre Chambers of Commerce directory here in Japan, I
find it pleasurable to offer you my partnership in business of $40 Million
United States Dollars , I only pray at this time that your address is
still valid. I want to this solicit your attention to receive this  money
on my behalf. The purpose of my contacting you is because my status would
not permit me to do this alone. When you reply this message, I will send
you the full details and more information about myself and the funds.If
interested, please reply through my alternate Email

My reply:

Great, thanks for thinking of me. I've never met anyone from Japan. Do you guys have chipmunks over there?
I had to look up the word encroach, it sounds a bit sinful, especially with "into your privacy" right behind it, you know? It means "infringe upon", maybe we should start talking about copyright encroachment instead of infringement, it sounds much more exotic.
I didn't know I was listed in the Trade Centre Chambers of Commerce directory in Japan, how cool is that! Should I write a little bio to go with my listing?
Pray no more, your prayers have been heard, my address is still valid and I feel deeply honoured that you want to become my partner. Is that just a business partnership, or did you have something else in mind?
That's a lot of money.. 40 milliom dollars, but why do you want me to reply through your alternate email? You're not guilty of email spoofing, are you? Naww, only scammers do that.
I look forward to hearing from you and to get my hands on some of that 40 million dollars. Please reply through my alternate email which is ThouShaltNotScam@YoureSuchAnIdiot.com

Did you want mayo with that spam?

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, been very busy with work as well as the outdoors.

As I get many emails for work, I try to spice up my email sessions by replying to scam and spam mails. What? You'll ask if I'm crazy, it only generates more mails. Yes it probably does, but the delete button is my friend. It's no big deal.
I wanted so share some of my replies here.  I haven't received any replies back so far. Darn. Some people can't take a joke I guess :)


First mail:

"Compliments of the day to you,
May the blessing of God be upon you and grant you the wisdom and sympathy to understand my situation and how much I need your help."

.. she then goes on to say how her dad passed away and left her 4.5 million dollars. She needs my help transferring it to a different account and of course, I am promised a nice cut.

My reply:

Hi there,

Thanks for thinking of me, but in fact, I am quite well-to-do and wouldn't know what to do with the money. I have so much already it's falling out of my pockets when I walk down the street. If I were you though, I'd remove God's blessing from that mail, it really does not befit a scam mail. I wouldn't want to be you, standing in front of those pearly gates some day and having to explain why I dragged God into a scam mail. 

Have a wonderful day!

Second mail:

Title: No more dreams about Rolex. Get it for as low as $ 250!. Wow! 

Content: No other shop offers that low prices for copies of branded watches.. Copies of Swiss watches are offered here for less than 300 dollars.

My reply:

Hey thanks for the mail, not sure who sold you my email, but that's unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

I don't think that mail was meant for me anyways, because I never dream about Rolex. If I do, I don't remember it. I don't have a watch, I'm allergic to metals and it just gives me a rash. Maybe send the mail to someone else? If I had 300 dollars I'd just blow it at the casino.

Have a great day and watch whom you mail - pun intended.

3rd email:

Title: Our on-line pharmacy is the right place to shop

Content: A whole list of viagra and the likes along with the prices.

My reply:

Do you sell aspirin? I don't need or want any. Just asking...

4th mail:

I didn't reply to this, but it is funny. From a spam mail:

If u are seller pls don't contact me, if u don't buy from me pls don't contact me . 

I very hate do spam or rip and i don't want who spam me..
