A Xomblurb in my Inbox!

Imagine my surprise as I logged into to Xomba tonight. I had a message in my inbox. Wahey! someone loves me enough to send me a message, I thought, but what I got was this message. A message that preys on the needy, the old, the young, the poor, the people who want to make a few quid online and the gullible.
No matter where you turn these days there will always be scams and spam. I’m no angel but at least I limit my spam to the Zomblurbs. I know what I write will never win me any awards, but that’s ok.
I just write when I feel the need or get something off my chest, that’s when I enjoy it most and if I earn a bit of pocket money , that’s a bonus. I like when I post a proper Zombyte and it gets a few reads, maybe it’s a sense of accomplishment , that I wrote something that people have read.

So here is a plea to all the users of Zomba, lets stop this kind of thing. If I wanted to receive messages like this I would just log into my yahoo mail account:). At least the names in the mail made me smile, Zulu and Zongo. I for one would love to meet Zulu and Zongo and have a beer or two with them, I know I would just piss myself laughing.

Click here and read my other nonsense.

Anyhow here is the message in full that I received and I’m sure I am not the only one to receive it.
