My new favorite spam:

YOUR INTERNET USAGE IS BEING TRACKED
You have no privacy protection.
Will your BOSS, WIFE or KIDS find out?

DOWNLOAD EZ INTERNET PRIVACY SOFTWARE

I better download this, right away. I’d hate to have my boss, wife, or kids find out that I sit at a computer all day writing code in between obsessively checking cnn.com to see if it’s time to put on my Al Queda Proof rubber jumpsuit.

Wait a second… If that spam we’re true, and they were the ones tracking me, they’d know they already sent the email to me six

times in the last hour! It’s a scam!
