Pet peeve of the day...

Computer hackers who can't spell. These idiots invade our computer and steal our personal information so they must have some brains to figure out how to do it. The question is: Why can't they spell? Tough luck...their loss is our gain.

I've decided it's fairly easy to decipher which message in my e-mail account are real. Simply look at the title.

These are just a few of the titles I've received:

"TRANSFER OF FUNDS SUCCESSFULL"

"YOUR WACOVIA CHECKING ACCOUNT"

"EMPRES YOUR WOMAN WITH YOUR MANLYNESS" (UMMM...HELLO?) :o

"OPEN IMEDIATLY"

AND....

"YOU MAY BE A WEINNER" :blink:

Message to hackers, spammers, and phishers...stay the heck out of my computer!

YOU'LL NEVER IMEDIATLY OR SUCCESSFULY EMPRES WACOVIA WITH THE MANLYNESS OF YOUR WEINNER! :rolleyes:

I totally agree!!! But I think most of the e-mails are comming from third world countries. I have several from Kenya. AND I NEVER OPEN THEM UP.

Don't you wonder how they got you e-mail in the first place. It's driving me crazy wondering.

At work we have a spam folder, and the only emails I only get are all R-rated....one of the best is make your tool as big as a tower.

All of them directed towards men....but still....

I get a lot of R-rated e-mails too. Just like you said, all of them are for men...I was wondering if I ever visited a site with a spyware cookie that mistook me for a man.

I've also had an increase in the number of e-mails that are just random symbols in the title. Like: ^*&^#! Anyone else? What is that about? :rolleyes:

:lol:

I get these too and thankfully most of them are filtered out by my spam folder. Unfortunately I have to go through my spam folder often because it seems some of my legit emials land in there at times, and every once in a while one of the spam emails makes it into my inbox.

I did notice anytime I register at different websites I get an influx of the spam emails, so I wonder if they are selling email addresses? :huh:

Little bit of a tech side here ...

They HAVE to misspell some words to get through spam filters. If i sent an e-mail with the correct words... they would be filtered out as spam because that is what most spam filters do.. where empress is not a common word and is not usual to use in a solitiation.

Also, Often times if you open an e-mail and unsubscribe they just use it to verify this is a good e-mail that you will read, and sell it. Only use the "unsubscribe" button if it is a legitmate company or site, but better yet go to the site it's from first.. never click a link in a e-mail!

Stay safe out there...!

Well, it's not just emails. Yahoo is the worst messenger for letting these spammers in. I never have this problem in MSN or AOL. I get these guys all the time IMing me in yahoo, they think I am so beautiful, they are looking for a woman just like me, they are recently divorced, always have 1 son, who usually is a teenager, and 9 times out of 10, they are working out of the country, but are from some state in the USA. Which by the way, usually is the first clue, we never say we live in NY, USA. Sometimes, depending on my frame of mind, I will mess with them. One guy, was living in northern Arizona and told me he was working off an oil rig in the ocean, north of there! Ok buddy, let me sell you some ocean front property!!!!! :P The truly amazing thing are the people who fall for these scams, it's really sad.

So many here have been falling for this car scam. They find an ad in the newspaper for a car for sale. They agree to meet the person somewhere, no one wants to meet anyone at their homes anymore, so they go to a mutual place. The honest person gets there, the dishonest person steals their money and disappears! It's a sad world.

Update on this annoying matter!

Due to the overwhelming amount of spam coming into the work accounts they put a new spam quarentine into effect. So now all the X-rated mail will be deleted. At least they are attempting to curve it. Things had been quiet for a few months and all of a sudden the dirty emails started again.

Just an obsevation....today it snowed 6-8 inches....so we're out there, the only ones, shoveling around our car. The property is the responsibility of the landlord but I can't seem to giggle a little when I think of the young he-men in my apt. complex whom I see going to the gym with their little bags and when it snows I never, ever see them out there shoveling the snow...even to do it just for the exercise. So here I am a mere woman shoveling the sidewalk just because I want to do it for the exercise. Just a giggle for me on a snowy day.

      dermatitis herpetiformis with all grains

      By Richardo · Posted

      I've never had problems with quinoa but I always rinse it well before cooking in case it's processed with other grains. I think quinoa is classified as a seed. I can't eat grains at all but I can eat all seeds. Ain't the human body a pandora's box of surprises???

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Morgan Tiernan · Posted

      Hi there! I’m new here and very grateful to any information that can be provided on the topic of Dermatitis Herpetiformis. I’m 22 years of age and have been struggling with this rash since the age of 19. We’re pretty sure it was brought on after having Covid (which resulted in shingles on my backside and strep a year or so later ) I struggle with intense itching and burning which often cannot be reached by a scratch. A find myself applying pressure on the skin in the early stages of it developing. Once it surfaces, small fluid filled blisters can be seen, most often on my chest, back, forearms and forehead (but has sometimes been in more places). We have only recently discovered its link to eating gluten, however getting doctors to listen to me has been a real struggle. They refused to test me for coeliac and offered me no follow up information or care plan, leaving me with no choice but to follow a gluten free diet off my own whim. The rash instantly improved in a couple of days, but of course I now struggle to be tested appropriately without having to go back to eating the dreaded stuff. Anytime I reintroduce it I become so unwell with dermatitis herpetiformis and tiredness. I am also struggling with outbreaks in between taking oral steroids to treat a flare up after being glutened (steroids provided by my private dermatologist thank goodness for him!) We’re now in the process of waiting for a skin biopsy, but I’m finding the outbreaks in between difficult to manage. I enjoy going to the gym but also dance competitively. Sweat seems just to irritate like nothing else. dermatitis herpetiformis has got in the way of so many aspects of my life already and I’m struggling now to navigate it affecting me doing the things I enjoy.  I’m after some advice from anyone who can relate or has experience of similar issues. I struggle to get this information from health care professionals so would love any advice or support from anyone if possible.  Thank you so much for your time

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Matt13 · Posted

      Hi knitty kitty, Scott and all, Thanks for kind words and asking!I will def. talk about histamine intolerance  on my next visit to gastro doc. My doc.gastro says that lactose or casein is very unlikely to create marsh 3b histology like gluten in adults in intestines. (that was previous question for Scott) Regarding my last EGD the villy was OK so refractory is out of the question based on my talk with dr. If Scott is right and there are so many intolerance in food for celiac what is left to eat?? And now histamine? I mean what should i eat? Maybe gastritis is doing all this trouble? Thanks Kind regard

      dermatitis herpetiformis with all grains

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @Richardo, I'm in the same boat as you! I can't handle certified gluten free oats at all. Quinoa is the worst, even when I soak it in water and then wash under the tap for 10 minutes ... I have a reaction. It must be an immune system reaction to the proteins in these gluten-free grains.

      dermatitis herpetiformis with all grains

      By trents · Posted

      We are all different and our immune systems are unique. I will say, however, that I have not gotten the impression as a moderator and reading hundreds and hundreds of posts on this forum over the years that a dermatitis herpetiformis outbreak caused by grains other than wheat, barley and rye is common. But perhaps it is more common than we have realized and it could be why it it is seems to be common that those who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis struggle to keep it under control. Perhaps there are qualities found in all cereal grains besides gluten that are contributing factors. Also, have you tried a low iodine diet to see if it helps with your dermatitis herpetiformis? Reportedly, reducing iodine helps some folks afflicted with dermatitis herpetiformis.
