A simple admonition

Dear, phishermen trying to fleece the webmail passwords off of a credulous population, do not send your crap to addresses starting with “abuse” or “support” or “helpdesk,” or anything else that would clearly indicate that you are sending to people who both know better than to fall for your oh-so-clever scam and are probably in a position to prevent others using their mail server to actually reply to you with their passwords. This is stupid. You should feel stupid for having done it.

    GODDAMN IT! Looks like I better change my date of birth now. Thanks for the head’s up.

    MSilver,

    If you gave that phisher your correct date of birth, I guess that you’ll have to go back in time, and tell your mother to give birth to you on an alternate date!

    LOLz!
