I am very very angry right now.
I have recently been bombarded with emails by some fucking jerk (who, according to many, probably lives in Nigeria) trying to convince me that I have won some sort of international lottery that I did not enter and that I need to contact my 'claims agent' in order to get the money. This is bullshit of the highest order, and, what's worse is that, not only can I not find anyone to report these to (without filling in a really long form that also requires me to read a whole law [and anyone who knows anything knows that law bills are fucking long]), but because this bullshit is coming to my university email account, I don't have a junk mail inbox into which I can direct these fucking emails. And I can't even reply telling them to fuck off, because it's likely that they've got some kind of email address randomiser, and replying will only let them know that there's a human on the other end - which in turn will probably make them try all the harder to get my (non-existant, since I'm a student, you fucking morons!) money.
I would dearly love to report these arseholes, but, like I said, it would probably take up hours of my time, and I'd be terrified that I'd miss some clause of the long document about internet fraud they want me to read, and make the whole form void anyway.
Fuck it! I will find someone to report this to, even if I have to go to fucking Downing street about it!
