Why do people open weird email?
I just don’t get it. I am constantly receiving spam email with all sorts of strange things in the subject line. Who opens this sort of thing? Even more mystifying to me is why anybody would not only open but actually reply to this kind of junk mail. Here’s a typical one I got today. It says it’s from “Ozzy Snellgrove” and the subject is “Re: Mgedications Pro 4 You”.
Somebody must buy pills from Ozzy and all his other pseudonyms or all this spam would stop. But why? If we would stop responding to this stuff, it would cut way down on the spam and make using email a lot more pleasant.
Opening mail from Ozzy may do no more harm than lighten your pocketbook but answering “phishing” mail can be very costly. Watch out for attempts to cash in on the hurricane disasters by phony charitable donation scams. Make your donations by using known, reputable methods.
