I find spam terribly anoying, although, it would be nice if all of those emails promising transfer of a few millions through some kind of foreign estate were in fact true.....

I'm sure we'd all be incredibly rich if they were.

I've seen this email get blocked or caught in spam filters quite a bit in the last week or so.... CNN Alerts!!

This one kind of caught me off guard, when I saw it in my spam, I couldn't remember if I had signed up for any type of alert.

It turns out I hadn't.

No harm done..... just a couple of wasted minutes.
