You May be Funding Terrorists

Some people who say, "I only smoke pot every once in awhile so what I pay does nothing to support terrorism." When you multiply that by many thousands of occasional users it is a lot more than you might think. We are being attacked daily in ways most do not realize. Some, if not all, of the spam we get comes due to the fact somewhere someone is responding to it; otherwise it would stop. Yes, through spam, we are being attacked. How? Someone offers to send you millions as a form of forgiveness or that they just found the Lord and want to help others. I have met, through email, leaders in ministries who have fallen for this and the US government reports that billions have been ripped off from people this way. Guess where it goes? Yes, terrorists. How do terrorist get their funds? Drugs; yes selling drugs both legally or illegal. How can they legally? Through the net by offering you discounts and huge savings. What happens is families and seniors who are on tight budgets do not realize this. They just see a savings they need, but then they give their credit card number and next thing they know - their card is maxed out. Even if they do send the drugs you have no idea if it is the right drug or correct dosage. Another way spam can be used to raise funds is offering something that goes towards our vanity or our pride like something to enhance parts of our body. I have not found one company that is reliable that uses spam. We should consider any email we get that we do not ask for as spam and all who use spam as a terrorists. The only safe way to deal with this problem is to avoid all spam, report all spam, and filter out all you can. When no one responds to spam anymore it will stop being lucrative and spam will go away.
