Inter-dimensional spam

I didn’t mention, this is not the first time there’s been a bit of strange spam floating about.

Mena Trott, Cam Barrett and others have previously received spam looking for someone with experience and equipment for time travel.

Some of the wording in this spam indicates that it might be the same person sending this spam. I can’t decide if the sender is a nutcase or simly perpetrating a hoax.

My spam was also received by others…

Subject: Dimensional Warp Generator Needed m Date: Tue, 08 Jul 03 13:20:09 GMT Greetings,

We need a vendor who can offer immediate supply. I’m offering $5,000 US dollars just for referring a vender which is (Actually RELIABLE in providing the below equipment) Contact details of vendor required, including name and phone #.

1. The mind warper generation 4 Dimensional Warp Generator # 52 4350a series wrist watch with z80 or better memory adapter.

If in stock the AMD Dimensional Warp Generator module containing the GRC79 induction AMD is another chip manufacturer- main competitor is Intel. Dimensional warp generator- kinda star trek funny.

I immediately forwarded mine to all the people I know and love who build sapce ships in backyards and basements. I once knew a guy who thought he was from the planet Argon.

I don’t see what the big problem is here. Everybody knows that amazon.galaxy sells this stuff (or at least will start trading in about 40 years). In the meantime, there is a limited catalogue of stuff available that’s considered safe for use by races for whom this science is in its infancy (ie the people of earth - at this present time) to help them get a foothold on the basic technology. If anyone wants a current catalogue, mail me at icdcomponents@hotmail.com and i’ll forward you the catalogue by return.
