Burky's Blog

I got three emails that my friends got from the same girl, Meghen Ashart.  I just want to warn all of you about her and let you know that she is a spammer.  Jo told me Meghan's email mentions about disabled people search, so never know what she is up to.

I sign up for spam/scam reports once and I get updates about scammers periodically.  One scamming method is using dating sites and dupe the people who are looking for life companion into getting the scammer to be their sweetheart.  And then the scammer would say they are from other country.  Since they have no money, they will ask you to give them money so they can "buy visa and airplane tickets so they can marry" you.  Rather slick, not?

I BCC all of you as you probably notice, except three who you can see are scammers to my knowledge.  I am sure there are many more, this world is fast losing the value of honesty and integrity.  How I can suspect those are scammers was that as I talk to them, when they say they need help, I told them that I will send help in person.  They just need to give me their home address, so I can try to find some Christians in their area who is willing to help a stranger, but they won't give it.  They say they only want my help, no one else.  Well, if you are desperate, you would look for help in ANY way, right?  It don't matter if it is a perfect stranger coming to your house and give you money, because that person just could be an angel.  That simple rule always put the scammers in a box.

Never, never, never give money to anyone you don't know!!!  Unless if it is in person, of course, as you can see if they are poor or not.  And don't give your credit card numbers to people you are talking with online.  Or give anyone your bank account numbers. 

I didn't plan to "spam" all of you more than once.  But it is just that I mistook "CC" as "BCC" and here many of my good friends who prefer to keep their identity in secret "suffer" exposure hence my apology.  Now three people forward same girl to me.  Two of them did it for joke, but it bothers me that it happened so soon after I send out Christmas greetings.  Just now Jay show me an email he got today and it was the same girl that three others told me about!  Oh man, I am so mad.  No, I am not mad at those who forward to me as a joke, but I am mad at people who somehow hacked into our systems and get our email addresses.

Email and IM are wonderful tools to keep in touch with friends, and so is snail mail.  But this world are so interested in making money that they would do anything by advertising in magazines, sending us junk mail and spam us with emails, and whatnot.  I guess it is like God build His church for our good and the devil is so interested in keeping people out that he would build the world to be more appealing.

My apologies is that some of my email contacts are really just cell phones.  I hope they don't pay more for their cell service simply because they get long emails on their phones.

Ok see y'all next year!
