Some Dubious Love, Pleading-for-Help Letters!

Image
Once in a while, I'd receive letters from people whom I don't really know, or have not met before. They'd be writing that they're out to seek love, plus their desire to get help from me, one way or another, with specific instructions on the steps I need to take so that I could help them. I am aghast that the government officials of Niger are far from taking steps to contain spreading letters like these from being sent out in the internet---it seems like they like to keep a bad reputation (which is very difficult to get rid of, unless you pay so much money just for public relations, or something else). There's nothing bad about helping, really, if only I have in my hands the help that's needed, but how do you best deal with these letters? I might as well share them here for all the curious readers, visitors out there. I'll keep on updating this posting, until they quit sending me such letters. I wonder how these writers are able to send mails like those copy-...

Some Dubious, Malicious Emails Supposedly from Gmail...Hmmmmm....

Image
I'm copy-pasting emails I'm getting from unverifiable sources that claim they're from Gmail. It's just getting to be pretty wasteful of one's time. But I'm seeing that by sharing these here, some curious readers and visitors out there may eventually google about these names and their letters, and can decide if they're malicious or not. Readers, beware!

A Few Dubious Job Opportunities I Received from Job Postings Online: Beware!

Image
Lately, I've been getting some strange replies from people I don't really know. They were replying to emails which they thought I sent them, asking them to apply for vacancies in a fictitious company that I'm supposed to represent. Despite the malicious intent, I hope something good happens from all these......Help! I copy-pasted below the text of the emails which was sent to a number of people. I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused anyone out there. I'm a real person, and you can just reply to this posting if you want to know more about these malicious emails where my email addresses have been used. I've also received some job offers from several companies that are dubious. I copy pasted one of them here. I'll be updating this email as soon as I receive letters similar to this. Thank you for taking time to read this! from Sam Judge to dyerohmeb@gmail.com date Sun, Aug 23, 2009 at 7:50 PM subject Re: personal Assistant mailed-by yahoo.com hi...
