    I'm not sure which is dumber. People who fall for this stuff, or the idiots who think people fall for this stuff. Probably the former.

    The highlighted domain above resolves to Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnam. Like that's a big surprise..... :roll:

    If you cast a wide enough net , and only the stupidest 2 per cent respond , you've got all you can handle .
    I won't question your Creator's wisdom , but you are responsible for your own actions .

    That's from an email I got today. Exactly how did you fix a redirect in my personal email?

    Hello.

    Try the first link. ;)
    W-2form.exe is nothing but a capture file, 480kb in size.
    Not saying that this did happen, but if somebody were the return this filled out form with an .exe that had some real mean code? ;)

    As does my laptop, which dual boots Linux and Mac OS X.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
