Enough is Enough

OK, this is SO irritating! Back in the day when I thought I was gonna be some hotshot rehabber/flipper/real estate investor, I got this cool domain name, to go along with my "business name" HomeSaleSolutionsLLC.com Cool, I am doing this, I am gonna make it happen, I am on my way.

*Why am I in this handbasket, and where are we going?*

So I have an email address, all set up with my domain name, which seems to have only brought me grief. For some odd reason, I get SO much spam, all aimed at helping me enlarge my penis, get a mammoth rod, unleash the one eyed snake, fulfill my woman, stiffen up the limp parts, you get my drift. Now, to add insult upon injury, I come home today, log onto my Outlook account, and find that I have over 1200 emails informing me that my "mail" has been returned as undeliverable. Not only that, but as I am trying frantically to delete these emails, more keep arriving faster than I can delete! When all was said and done, I deleted over 2000 emails just from TODAY! Now if these were the "undeliverable" ones, doesn't it make you wonder how many got through? All apparently sent from homesalesolutionsllc.com.

Shit.

I did get one gem out of the lot. It was from some company that told me the actual IP address which sent "my" email. So I did a little search, and it seems to be this company.

General Dynamics in San Diego CA. Individual name, Rich Davidson, email address, rdavidso@csc.com. Phone number, 858-675-3907.

Hmmmmmm. What to do.

Well, what I have ALREADY done, is to email Mr. Rich, and inform him of the happenings. I wonder if he knows his computer is a zombie? I wonder how he will feel about it? I wonder if he will believe it? I wonder if it is yet one more layer in an ever convoluted labyrinth of intrigue and suspicion?

I could call him. I could call him now. He won't answer because it is 9:29pm Pacific Time. Lord knows, nobody works that late. Except a Zombie.

Everybody hold your breath now, I am gonna do it.

*drunk dials*

Busy. How the hell can it be busy? Supposedly this is a company phone number! They never have busy signals, and at this time of night?

I feel like a chump! Wait, one more try. I will google this phone number and see what I come up with!

*googles*

Well, it shows San Diego County, but no phone listed to any real company that I can see.

the jury is out.
