There is no person working at Ericsson named &#8220;Anna Swelung&#8221;. They have confirmed that they will not be giving away free anything. So do me a favour and stop sending me this spam. It&#8217;s junk.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2010 spam emails are coming. I have just received my first one with thanks to <a href="http://sarocks.co.za">SA Rocks</a>. This is what 2010 Spam looks like:</p>
<blockquote><p>My name is Mr Ray Edward, I got your website in the internet, when i was searching for a good business partner interconnection to  2010 Fifa world cup that will be hold in your country south africa nest year,<br />
Do you know a good profitable business that we can invest?  I did it in Germany 2006 and i was favored so much, Get back to me with your kind of investment proposal so that we can proceed now,</p>
<p>Yours truely</p>
<p>Mr. Ray Edward.</p></blockquote>
<p>Well Mr. Ray Edward, I have great ideas. Why would I give them to you? And if you are going to pitch me spam, at least try to get the spelling and grammar half-decent, not even all the way decent, just half.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just received this in my Gmail account:</p>
<blockquote><p>Good day,</p>

Bank Plc.The HSBC Private Banking client died intestate and nominated no next of kin to<br />
inherit the title over the investments made with HSBC Bank Plc.The essence of this<br />

address was Madrid, Spain?</p>
<p>2-Are you aware of any investment of considerable value made by such a person at the HSBC<br />
Bank Plc.?</p>
<p>3-Can you establish beyond reasonable doubt your eligibility to assume status of next of kin<br />
to the deceased?</p>
<p>It is pertinent that you inform us ASAP whether or not you are familiar with this personality<br />
that we may put an end to this communication with you and our inquiries surrounding this<br />
personality.You must appreciate that we are constrained from providing you with more detailed<br />
information at this point. PLEASE RESPOND BACK TO MY PRIVATE AND DIRECT EMAIL ADDRESS;<br />
mrs.mariawood@gmail.com as soon as possible to afford us the opportunity to close this<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Believe it. It&#8217;s true. </p>
<p>I received a call on dodgy line yesterday at work. From an agency handling some paraphernalia production for me. I thought I heard 500 in total. What I had agreed to was 500 per promotion. This would have worked out to a whopping total of R40 000.</p>
<p>That is well, well, well over what I had budgeted for and well over what we could afford ever. </p>
<p>An hour later I frantically realised the error of my decision. Running around the office back to my desk, sliding in to my chair I made the call to the agency. </p>
<p>The lady on the other side of the call sounded slightly flustered by a bit happy that I had caught her in time. </p>
<p>What had happened? Eskom had magically saved me R40 000. The power went out two minutes before I called to change the order and the agency was unable to send of the order via email. </p>
<p>For the first time ever I have to say: Thanks Eskom. </p>
