I don't know. On the one hand, there's nothing lower than internet phishers and scammers. On the other hand, I laughed too hard for this to really be a rant.
This evening my wife came to me with a bit of a problem. For the past couple of days her Skype account has been bombarded with strangers requesting her to join conversations, etc. She just ignored them, which is probably the best thing to do.
Tonight, however, she got a request and the name sounded familiar. She asked me did I know anyone named Martin E. Dempsey? Apparently he's in the military.
Ummm ... you mean like General Martin E. Dempsey? The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff? Well, I know the name, but I don't know him personally.
We decided it was probably another scam.
Then we laughed, and laughed!
So the nation -- no, the world -- can sleep easy tonight! The highest-ranking military officer in the United States Armed Forces is (probably) not inviting my wife to offer her opinions on the defense of the nation.
Of course, if that really was him, and he really was in need of her advice, maybe we are in trouble!
