I just received the oddest spam that directly went to the SPAM folder but did NOT register in the count and I bet avoids deletion. The details are not stupid or weird, but perhaps tempting to this kind of response especially if I post on DU. From Kash Patel(I never got fake messages from real high ups except in DNC fundraising posts.) It relates to an actual Belgian financial guy named Pierre Bunsch from Belgium where he has 8,000,000 USD hidden in some investigation I supposedly have something to do with in an obviously mistaken mailing from Patel's personal address using a California origin e-mail. Does not show up yet in online "googling&quot I don't use Google though) nor would I ever send anything to the FBI at this stage anyway, despite this using their so-called Director's name.

I never attacked alcoholics so I don't know the actual Kash Patel has any smishing vengeance planned, but, yes, I would never engage spam. Wasting the time of a hired lowlife is not a way I would waste my time. Giving them anything especially YOUR VOICE is a danger in itself(never answer a strange call with a "Yes?". Simply don't speak at all most times. A timed delay indicates a likely robocall.)

You should increase your screening security and wait for them to leave a message you can study. Leave the attacks to the scorching comedians.

OTOH this particular odd spam is a vast disappointment. Not even offering a gift card or a junior FBI badge..
