Funny Spam

Posted by Paulie at 2:37 PM on March 3, 2004.

I've received two of these funny emails already today. Apparently, I'm misusing my own website and my own email machine.. great..

Sometimes, I think that the hosting through iPowerWeb is not so good. The server's been down for 2 hours during the middle of the day this week, and 3 hours a coupla weeks ago. I don't get any response to my emails, and I just won't wait on hold for hours on end.

Anyone know any other good hosting providers who aren't subject to mail server abuse, etc etc??

Here's the mail, just for fun:

Dear user of Fatpaulie.com gateway e-mail server,

Your e-mail account will be disabled because of improper using in next
three days, if you are still wishing to use it, please, resign your
account information.

Please, read the attach for further details.

Improper using?? Yeah, the team. Me and umm... oh yeah, me. What shocks me is that there are still morons out there who open up attachments like this and then complain about it.

You want to be saved from spam and virii (viruses?) then switch to OS X.

I keep getting funny spam of another variety today. I've received multiple phone calls from your pants. Both at my home and cell numbers. Would you please refrain your pants from randomly calling me throughout the day?

His *pants* are calling you? Consider yourself lucky...I keep getting his socks. I've referred them to 9-1-1, but they just don't get it. There's nothing *I* can do for them.
