How To Catch a Spammer
Microsoft Award Promotion Winner!
I received 966 of my Microsoft Award Promotion winning e-mail this morning! And I won it in their Microsoft New year Bonaza EMAIL DRAW! (Their spelling not mine!)
I guess they really wanted me to make sure I know I won!
And in case I didn’t understand what a winner was, they made sure I knew I was also a wenner! (I guess that’s better than being a whinner or a weiner!)
Here’s what it said:

If anyone knows TomTS in Barrie, Ontario Canada, tell him to clean up his computer!
Point him to my post about the free botnet removal tool from Trend Micro!
