Guaranteed: FAKE!



Hello there my favourite people on all of earth.

Lately I've been typing like a maniac for the college newsletter considering I'm student head editor and all of that. (No I am not boasting okay?) Anyway, its rather weird how suddenly I get so much time to blog. But I should be happy. I'm already procrastinating about exams which are three weeks away. And I will continue to crib and grumble about it forever, till they're done. Bear with me okay?

Before I go on ranting anymore, here's food for thought. Its better to send fake mails to people who'd actually fall for them, and not to smarties who know when something smells fishy.Saves yourself some humiliation. Ha!
Yes I put a minute picture without details of the person who sent it. Karma. I'll be blessed. :) :P

Hi Shounshu,

We would like to mention how lovely your blog is and that we thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Also would like to state that we noticed that you are on the lookout for sponsors. Your blog name Smiles and Shines is very appealing.

Our company is interested in sponsoring your blog and we will deliver products for you to feature in your blog right at your doorstep. Please do reply with your address if you are interested.  

Thankyou
Ganeshan

SERIOUSLY? You expect me to fall for that? Firstly, they spell my name wrong. Shounshu? If they loved my blog so much, they'd have cared to notice the name that I add at the end of every post. And if that wasn't enough to have me laughing, they named my blog Smiles and Shines? WTH were they thinking? I'm definitely not stupid and I can see through that fake gmail id and the pathetically written mail. Wow, thanks a ton for trying to pull off a scam, but not happening.

At first I thought I'd reply, but then I'd be encouraging it so I decided against it and just put the filthy mail up here for you lovely people to read.  I'm sure this is pretty common. What is difficult to comprehend for me is that, who would fall for such sleazy tricks? It is so visible. So darn visible okay? And if people are so jobless to try and pull off such scams why don't they try and get their facts right? Maybe it might work out? FAIL.

Has something like this happened to you? Mail me. I'd love to hear your story. Not that its cool? But we could show mutual disgust for such jobless scam-mers.

Oh imagine a Mutual Disgust for Scam-mers society.

Lovely.

Till next time,
Love
'Sonshu'

:D Would you believe, I received an email from a so called FASHION website who wanted writers! I was like, THIS IS IT. I got my break...Next day when he sent the assignment, uh lala, guess what >:< Bikini clad X rated girls is what I was supposed to describe. Since that day, I have understood how pathetic my blog is...

Though, I do appreciate when a reader sends a genuine kind note :)

Sarcasm is a scam that people never understand.

Shawty said...

Lolx... Wow. You caught them good.
I hate those spam and junk mails too. They are so annoying how they keep on filling up my inbox. I don't even bother reading them or opening them anymore. If I do not recognize the sender or if they have a really weird name, then forget it.

Sonshu said...

@PhilO: Exactly. But this one, by the subject seemed genuine and hence i opened it :P

Sonshu said...

@Anon: Of course I know who. Dummy. :P :) hahaha and im glad.

Sonshu said...

@TheBluntBlogger: What amazes me is the guts they have to send it and believe we will fall for it. Sheesh!

Sonshu said...

@Shawty: Yes girl :P HAHAHAHA. It was hilarious for me at first though. Anyway, lets start the society :P LOL
