I don't text message.  I don't e-mail.  I don't use the internet.  I don't even take pictures (that's what a 33mm SLR camera is for). ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kent]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 23rd 2008 8:45AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Top Internet Threats]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/02/14/top-internet-threats-4/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/02/14/top-internet-threats-4/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've won several lotteries in Nigeria (16.5 mil so far)  Ain't the internet great?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Doug]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 23rd 2008 8:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Top Internet Threats]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/02/14/top-internet-threats-4/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/02/14/top-internet-threats-4/</guid><description><![CDATA[I see I am not the only one winning all those 3rd<br>world lotteries. I didn't keep track but starting in early January through the first week of February, I received no less than thirty of these<br>letters from "scambags." While annoying, I have derieved some entertainment from them - specifically the butchering of the English language. The best(?) one I read started out addressing me as "urgent beneficiary." And it just got more bizarre and convoluted from there.<br>How dumb do these people think we are to fall for this garbage? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nancy Mantz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 25th 2008 12:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Top Internet Threats]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/02/14/top-internet-threats-4/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/02/14/top-internet-threats-4/</guid><description><![CDATA[unfortunately, nancy, there are still many people who respond to these lottery scams and end up losing tons of money... and too, the loss of one's self respect...  which leads to hiding one's identity by not reporting such a loss...  people need to ignore these scams and they will eventually go away or report them until some authority can find and prosecute the scammers...  but, in the end, new and more compelling scams will be devised to tempt the greed within us...  same reason why people go to las vegas casinos even though most know that they have little chance of winning... seems the emotion of greed is so much stronger than the power of reason...   ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fred Patterson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 1st 2008 5:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Top Internet Threats]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/02/14/top-internet-threats-4/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/02/14/top-internet-threats-4/</guid><description><![CDATA[How about from Canada, I received a check in the mail saying that I won a lottery in Canada, I knew it was too good to be true!
