the buzz log
Hey kids, Grumpy Grandpa here. Boy, am I in a foul mood today. Not only are my slippers missing, some scam artist sent me an email asking for my social security number. Of course, I didn't bite—you gotta get up pretty early in the morning to fool the ol' Grumpster.
I thought a nice mid-morning nap would calm me down, but no dice. First, teenagers took over my local Denny's, now I'm being beseiged by grifters! Thoroughly annoyed, I researched the top "scam" searches. Take a look at our top 20. Oh, and keep your eyes peeled for my slippers—25 cent reward to whoever finds 'em first.
