Nearly $300,000 for as low as never? Sweet! I’ve been pre-qualified? That’s spectacular - only me and every other human being alive can say that, according to what I know of the English language. I’ll hook up with the LendersTeam and let you guys know what I find out - drinks are on me if I get my terms for as low as never!

On the first of each month, the Spam of the Month title is given to the best spam received in the previous month. It might be funny, it might be outrageous, it might just be the most messed up thing ever to worm it’s way into my inbox. Whatever it is, it’s noteworthy.
