The latest scam is a nebulous court order from the Chief of Police in New Delhi, India. Apparently, I have "juvenile porn" on my computer featuring "women and minor children." And, if I don't respond within 12 hours, they'll have no choice but to have the court do whatever they're going to do that I won't find out for 12 hours, I guess.
And their sophisticated computer systems make it impossible for people to "consciously or unconsciously" visit "juvenile porn" sites without them knowing. Also, they are hard at work "24 hours a day, 5 days a week."
First, obviously, none of it's true.
Second, the first scam message came about two days ago, so the 12 hours has expired (unless the second eMail resets the clock?) and police from India have not come to America to arrest me.
Third, if the porn involves "women", um, wouldn't that indicate they are 18 or older?
Fourth, if the porn involves "woman and minor children," are they looking for these women? Because, you know, an adult doing porn stuff with minor children would be illegal.
Fifth, do a lot of people unconsciously visit child porn sites? How does that happen? You fall asleep and your fingers automatically know the URLs to such sites? How did your fingers learn that?
Sixth, I mean, how serious are they if they work 24/5? What's with that? So, is it okay to watch child porn on the weekends because the Internet police in India take weekends off?
Seventh, you have to respond in order to find out what the court order entails. What kind of system is that? I guess if the court order is to have you executed or castrated, you probably won't show up. Then again, it's kind of like those ads that promise a price so low you have to show up to see it, which usually means it's more expensive than you want to pay and they want to be able to pressure you into buying. So, one can assume the absence of information means bad things which would make people less likely to respond.
Seems like maybe they didn't think this scam through.

It's been great to see more family pictures and reconnect with some old friends. It's strange how some people found me right away.
