How Stupid Am I Supposed To Be?

Post Reply New Topic

Recent email I got says "An package containing confidential personal information was sent to you". Sent by: United States Postal Service <[email protected]> Oh yeah, that looks just like a US government email address, doesn't it? I'm going to start clicking those links right away

I'm glad you're smart enough to know it's a ripoff.

And even smarter for warning us who might be very naïve about it.

What if the Nigerian prince sent a bomb?

Speaking for the general population of people with intellectual disabilities, but have learned to read and write and use the internet, this can be a problem.

What's even more ridiculous than those emails are the 1s where they say they have a vid of you masturbating & they'll release it online if you don't send em money

Meanwhile, at a CIA Secret Base:

"That's right, sir. We disguised our emergency information drop as an obvious scam-email. We're banking on true american patriots opening it without hesitation. Why? That's classified."

They do it on purpose because their target audience is people who are going to fall for scams, and if you're stupid enough to fall for the scam, you're probably stupid enough to not pick up on obvious grammar mistakes and an incorrectly typed email address.

Your loss. I just got one of those, and now that I have given them my details, I am awaiting an inheritance from my unknown grand uncle in Nigeria. I never even knew he existed, and yet this sweet man has left all his millions to me! How touching is that? I can't wait to have the moneys rolling in

The very first time I got a threatening scam call from the "IRS" claiming I owed them money and that I would be arrested actually initially scared me to the point of feeling my own sphincter pucker. It hit me a few seconds later that this was just a bunch of baloney. That's nothing. Listen to this: You know how we aspies can do things that others can't do like remembering things really well. I would swear that I heard that same voice that threatened me arguing with a store clerk in my local Home Depot store. If I could be sure without a reasonable doubt, I would have liked to punch this woman square in the face without any remorse whatsoever - if I could get away with it - which would be unlikely even if she was the one that made the call. Everybody should invest in a paper shreader. Just last week, a car was picking up trash bags off my street the night before trash day...and some dude was dumpster diving in a complex behind my house.
