Missed gadget sales for this spammer

The editor(s) over at Gizmodo always cracks me up. If you are into gadgets at all, I highly recommend that blog.

Today he pointed out some spam that he received and noted that were the URL that the e-mail gave working, he would considering buying some of the things:

Also we have our Dutch-based shop where you can buy some drugs to make your life more wonderful and funny. We have wide selection of Ganzha, Crack, both synthetic and natural Heroin.
And our prices are affordables for everyone.

That spam is priceless. In case the booby trap Barbie packed with C4 doesn't interest you, then there is always the crack to make your life "more wonderful and funny".

Just a tip: when you are selling fake penis enlargement drugs online, the fines are stiff (no pun intended) and the penalties in getting caught are harsh. But when you step it up to selling crack and heroin... well, that's a whole 'nother game when it comes to the punishment you will get when caught.
Might want to step up the efforts to stay anonymous in your sales if you go that route.
But on the brilliant side, no idiot would ever use a credit card for such things, so you have to deal only in cash. And when you stiff the person, not sending them any drugs or explosives at all - that's all profit right there.

I should go on a marketing tour. I'll make millions telling housewives how to make money at home, faking selling crack from home so that they can blow the cash on new SUVs rollin' on dubs.
