Coming up this week on DR. BLOGSTEIN’S RADIO HAPPY HOUR: (Live on Tuesday March 20th at 9PM ET and forever archived at Blog Talk Radio.)

Retired attorney Steve Graham grew tired of receiving spam emails from those Nigerian con artists so took matters into his own hands: He spammed them right back–and left a paper trail which he calls The Good, the Spam, and the Ugly. He’ll join Dr. Blogstein and Jane and tell us just how he managed to irritate the hell out of those who irritate the hell out of us. Graham will also seek a silent partner to collect on hidden fortunes left by your late great-uncle who happened to be the mayor of Lagos, Nigeria.

Also, Ronald Weinland, pastor of the Church of God, will stop in and warn us that the end of the world is coming sooner than we may think. He’ll tell us when and how the world will end in what should be an uplifting segment.

Plus much, much more, including your calls at 646-652-4804.

Join us every Tuesday night at 9PM ET. And if you miss us then, we’re forever archived at Blog Talk Radio. Well, at least we’ll be archived until world ends.

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!)
