Its been a while since I’ve shared some of the finest work that the world’s spammer scammers are producing. I received one this morning that was quite intriguing.

The following plays on the deeply religious and charitable (and the incredibly dense and gullible!)

DIVINE CALL.

Psychics are frauds. I’ve never believed them and have always hated how they take advantage of people by preying on their grief. I have always felt that if I were psychic and able to speak to the dead that there is no way that I would charge people to talk to their relatives that have passed. If I were given that gift, I would pass it on to others as a gift. If I wanted to make money off of my talent, I’d join the CIA or FBI.

Why do I bring this up? Well it has to do with one of the kidnapped boys that was recovered in Missouri last week and Howard Stern.

Huh?

Believe it or not, the story I’m about to relay to you was brought to my attention by yesterday’s Howard Stern Show. It was brought to Stern’s attention by yesterday’s New York Daily News. As you can see, I’m bringing you yesterday’s news–its a wonder you all keep coming back here.

As you know by now, two kidnapped Missouri boys were found alive last week. One of those boys, Shawn Hornbeck, was brought home after being gone for almost 4 years! Well, according to Howard and the Daily News, back in February 2003, four months after Shawn disappeared, psychic Sylvia Browne appeared on The Montel Williams Show and told the boy’s parents that she believed their son was “no longer with us.”

She went on to tell them that his body could be found in a wooded area 20 miles from their Richwoods, Mo., home, near two large jagged boulders.

Apparently, Browne’s “vision” of his death caused search teams to redirect their efforts and drew dozens of calls from the public who believed they lived near the woods matching Browne’s descriptions.

Browne then “offered” to continue to help the family for $700 a consultation. What a sweet woman.

She knew how these missing children cases usually turn out and she went with the odds. Doing so, she impeded the search for Shawn (though that says as much about the police as it does about Browne) and messed with the hopes of his family. HOW DARE SHE!

She is a fraud. A charlatan. And she should be ashamed of herself. Check this out, as it seems others agree.

And if you’re still not sold, watch this!
