Almost felt a bit left-out.<br /> Then, after I got a faculty email address, I started getting them. And, when I started to think about it...</p> <p>That tends to imply that someone actually made a point of harvesting for email addresses from universities. Someone actually thought to himself, "hmm... who can I scam today? I know! I'll look for people with jobs that frequently require PhDs! They're the dumbest people of all!"<br /> I'm not entirely certain that was a good use of his time.</p> <p>Heh. And since there isn't really a 'topic' to derail, may as well really get off-topic... Just the other day, I was commenting to someone on how strange it was that it's always the <em>exact</em> same scams. Like, you'd think they'd at least pick different countries to supposedly be offering all of these riches. Sure enough, pretty dang soon, I got an email about the <em>Italian</em> Lottery! oooooh!<br /> (Well, I assume that's what "Lotteria D'Italia" means. With how limited my knowledge of Italian is, technically I can't definitively state that it wasn't from Chef Boyardee) </p> http://www.clickshakegames.com/forum/topic/classroom#post-4558 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 02:17:16 +0000 lmsswa 4558@http://www.clickshakegames.com/forum/ <p>&gt;:()~ </p>
