A trusted friend (who I once believed harbored a shred of intellect) recently sent the following email to eight of his friends, myself included:

quote:
It works!!! Thought we might need a laugh!


I THOUGHT I SAW A TWEEDIE BIRD....NO TACOS.....NO RONALDS.....

Send this to 6 people and you will see the
Taco Bell dog run across your screen . If you send this to 8
people Ronald Mcdonald comes out and
attacks the taco bell dog. it is really funny
and it works!! you have to try it .


The formatting is retained for your enjoyment. Oh, and this crummy .gif was imbedded in the email itself:

I've lost all hope. I'm going off to eat some pills.

Adieu.

choosing public education has indirectly given many of these annoying emails. especially the ones about how a little boy/girl/wife/husband has cancer and is going to die unless you get 3 billion fowards or something so gill bates will give 10c per referal or something. i walked over to these people at lunch and they were talking about it and i told them not to be so fucking stupid and they said "it says if you delete this then you have no heart" and then they said i was a idiot so i said to my self "hehehehe i'll show them" so i fowarded it to the manager at ZDNET (where they were getting "10c per foward" from and then i recieved the reply i was expecting so then i told them all of and fowarded it to them and now i sit and gamble and play cards at lunch time instead of "chillin" with the populars.

AND THEN WHAT THE FUCK DO THEY DO??!?!?

i didn't take them off my icq list - BAD MISTAKE!!!!!!!! the nex few days i get at least 20 snowball fights/foward or delete msgs. so now i just act like i'm to good for them and play cards and feather-ball and swear

heheehe... you double posted. that should be like a sin or something....
i made the mistake of giving my email adress to a couple of my friends. bad mistake. now (my old one, not the detnet one) it gets like 4 chain letters a day. one guy even signed me up for a 'chain letter of the day' seriously. and thats why detnet mail is l33t, because i dont give it to anyone!

Just forward the emails with full headers to the appropriate abuse channels. Usually you just send them to abuse@<isp here>, where the isp is the one in the return address.

You can also find a pretty good util for gathering info about the origins of spam, etc. < here. >

typically when you double post you are supposed to edit one of them to say oops and the second one to the original message, not add a third post
