Friday Funny: What happens when you reply to spam email

I must apologize for my web absence. I have been very busy working on a couple of things; the renovation of my younger son’s bedroom and developing the next builds of my products GP Power Tools and Batch Posting Service Toolkit. More info on those new builds coming soon.

So, just to let you know I am well and still around (thanks to those who checked up on me), here is something to entertain you. Enjoy this TED talk about spam email.

Suspicious emails: unclaimed insurance bonds, diamond-encrusted safe deposit boxes, close friends marooned in a foreign country. They pop up in our inboxes, and standard procedure is to delete on sight. But what happens when you reply? Follow along as writer and comedian James Veitch narrates a hilarious, months-long exchange with a spammer who offered to cut him in on a hot deal.

Have fun
