Dear G-mail User Scam
I hate scams. Here’s another one from my spam box. This one isn’t as well done as the World of Warcraft one. The grammar makes me cringe. But we know that these things work, or they wouldn’t be sending them out. Warn your friends and family about this.

Even if I did play World of Warcraft I’m a nasty, mean, suspicious old coot, and I wouldn’t fall for something like this.
But there are people who do, so warn your friends. A copy of the full spam email is below the break for reference.

Sam, my Beagle Dog, the handsome little guy who I’m holding in the picture above, who I’ve referred to as my “Editor in Chief” (he sat beside me when I wrote every article for the last four years) died in June. He was chasing a rabbit, and it cut across a road. Sam didn’t look.
He is greatly missed by the family, and by his pack mate Rose..
