Anyone else get this email?

"Hello, my name is Albert. I am from Paraguay, South America. I read in the forum that you have a lot of bulbs of different species. Could you send me please 3 bulbs for each variety, from all the species that you have
Please write me at my email: americanlifes@hotmail.com
Your faithfully
Albert"

Will you all be at the Post Office first thing in the morning?

No, but I got a really strange one with the subject:
Flowers are pretty, but they don't pay your bills.
LOL! It had garbage in the body of the email. I reported it as spam and blocked the ISP.

LOL John! So are you racing right out to mail them?? I did not get that particular one, but I have received the "I'd love to have a pkg of everything on your list" one. Of course there is never an offer of trade or postage!

Yes, just unbelievable! The sheer nerve amazes me. I'd better get busy, if I am to get THREE of each ready to mail out tomorrow!

Taking advantage of people - how awful! Thanks for posting in case some might think he's a member.

And the good thing is that unless you reply back to them, they can't get hold of your email addy :)

Right, Terry! Tempting as it is to write a scathing reply, it is always better to hit the delete button and never look back.

As long as you are digging out 3 each for Albert would you mind getting 3 for me to!! haha
I can't believe anyone would do that, let alone think that you would rush right out to dig them up!

Well, I had them all ready to go out, but forgot today was a holiday! Had to toss them on the compost heap.

Alice, watch out for your bulbs, although I suspect you will be looking like Al Bundy with his nose pressed to the window watching for a pizza that never comes...

Badseed, I was unable to read the last few words of your posting, some sort of computer glitch, so rest assured, I sent your email as requested.

Pardancanda
Glad to see your sense of humor is still in good shape.
I just couldn't resist that little burb yesterday when I saw your post.
Have a great day!
Alice
