Simon Says – Musings of a Technology CTO

I think this got through my spam filter because Brian was SHOUTING so loud. It fascinates me how you can be so computer illiterate as to not understand how to use capitals (or not), yet feel you have some chance of success in pursuing this kind of scam..

I had a mind to tell him I’d meet him at a NYC Police Station (for security reasons), but some other guy is offering me $10.8m, so I’m going to put my efforts there 😉
