GET YOUR COLON CLEANSED OVER THE INTERNET

The strangeness of spam is growing apace. For a long time now, every time I open my email I've been offered a chance to lose several hundred pounds for only a few thousand dollars, have my breasts enlarged and various parts of my anatomy lengthened or invigorated or uplifted or whatever. Now, from the patently reputable address of Colo_nCleans_ehixxx@yahoo.com comes the offer of a cleansed colon for only "just under $52.00." For that price, SleazeCo. will send me something never mentioned specifically: no clue whether it is a device, a substance, a sheaf of instructions or just a map to the nearest clinic. But the fact that such quality communication (and all the other low-life literature) is filling more and more mailboxes is an indication that the sleazeball senders are getting some response and making some money off the fears and ignorance of few or many in the internet world. And when at last the colon scam runs out of gullible colons, they'll offer to sell you a surefire way to make money on the internet hand over fist, the entire good-health sales package only just under $52.00, all underhand, no overhead, addresses included, at this untraceable address.
