Dear email scammers:

Stop cluttering up my inbox with your stupid emails. I'm not going to click on one of your links to "update my information," because I am not a moron. I can see right down there in my little status bar just where that link is directing me to, and it's not a site I'm familiar with, no matter how "official" it looks on the screen. By the way, I'm not a Discover Card holder, and I don't have an account at CitiBank--therefore I don't need to update my information with them. They don't have my information to begin with. As for those of you who try it from Paypal and eBay, as someone who frequents the eBay Bidding Board, I am completely familiar with your little scam, and you can consider yourself reported.

As for those of you spammers who have "sexually explicit" in your subject line--stop sending me stuff. I'm less than not interested. I'm actively hostile. And those of you who think I need cheap prescriptions? I don't have any prescriptions, therefore I don't need cheap ones, and I don't buy from people who send me spam, call me on the phone, or knock on my door.

LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE.

Thankyouverymuch.

Oh yes, I've gotten those emails. Ever since I've started selling my comic collection on eBay, I've received emails saying things like, "eBay has lost your account information, so will you please put in your name and password and them all your credit card information" even though I can log on to eBay perfectly fine. Thankfully, I read the FAQ on spoof emails and forward them all to spoof@ebay.com

What I want to know is, how the heck are they getting my email address? And why does my posting ID never get them?
