Level 6 · 4 mo agoThis is very true about the early internet spam. I definitely remember getting those AOL chain letters and just hitting delete without a second thought. Knowing one of them was an actual warning is terrifying :/

Level 8 · 4 mo agoI just want to know what Nancy was doing for forty years. You do not stay married to a dude through endless fraud arrests and suspect absolutely nothing.

Level 5 · 4 mo agoThat prison librarian actually fell for a guy serving time for fraud and gave up her alimony for him 🤣🤣 People really have zero survival instincts.
