Okay, here's an e-mail I got yesterday that I don't really grok:

I assume the point of this is to get me to visit the URL they give in order to download malware on my computer or something. Very strange.

Oh, yeah -- i'd probably do several rather dodgy things for seven million dollars, but for ninety... no way. I wouldn't want my friends to think I'm that chintzy.
