I tell you what, in spite of my sins of visiting these illegal websites, I have to say how proud I am to live in a country where the FBI can work on the honor system like this. Sending out a questionaire to criminals like myself, so that the taxpayer is spared the expense of them having to pick me up and bring me somewhere to interrogate me… it’s just a great system. [choking up a little with pride] After I fill out the questionaire, I guess we can just go straight to arraignment and trial, unless I, overcome with guilt, decide to plead guilty. And I might… I just might. After all, my buddy Steve here is mine faithfully. How can I let a friend like that down, I ask you? America – what a country!

(Thanks to AVG Free Edition for stripping the attached virus and leaving me with this very amusing email. AVG has very generously made this program free to home users, and I have not had a virus in years. Just like the expensive anti-virus programs, it updates itself in the middle of the night, no fuss, no muss, no bother. Thanks to Cloudmark for blocking future emails like this one – their spam protection is the best I have ever tried.)
Merry Christmas to you!
What is sad is that so many people fall for scams like this one. Some are compulsive and have to click on the link or attachment to see what happens. Keep warning people especially those new to the internet.
