Free Stuff?
Anyone who has an email address has seen at least one piece of SPAM offering you free stuff. During my very early days of email, I would politley reply informing them that both my bust and butt were big enough, thank you anyway. Then I learned about email filters! YES!
However, one or two pieces still slip though my defenses. One came the other day that I actually glanced at. This one offered cash for reading email. Just for reading someone else email I could be paid cash, and not that Funny Canadian money either. Real Yankee cash!
My baser voyeur side took over, I had visions of reading some juciy private email. 
I looked like a cricket rubbing my nasty little hands together in glee.
I followed all the links to signup for this wonderful new craze. I had a dozen or more to choose from, I thought, wow I can get rich just reading other peoples mail. I wondered if I would be assigned any big name stuff, you know maybe some rock stars mail or something like that. Perhaps this was a job where I would read all the mail, and simply write a brief precis for the big star. HA! Alright, I am bright, just not quick 
I will give you the url to check this out too, but be prepared to hold your jaw up, mine dropped to the floor when I found out what they wanted me to do.
I stared at the moniter thinking....... it took me weeks to carefully come up with keywords to draft my filters so I could avoid most of this junk, now they are trying to trick me into actually reading it! Do people actually do this??
