Spammed out

By goddamnit - 14/03/2009 02:57 - United States

Today, I got a letter saying I was no longer a student at my college and my current work is void since I had ignored and refused to pay my tuition bill. Over the past month I've been deleting these pesky emails saying 'FINAL WARNING regarding payment' thinking it was more spam. They weren't. FML

Yeah, you're probably not going to get much sympathy for this, especially since all you had to do was take two seconds to see that the sender's e-mail address was from your own school.

i don't see how it's possible not to think about paying your tuition

I love the number of people calling this guy an idiot, then acting like he could have just checked the "from" address on the email. You guys do realize there's absolutely no authentication built into SMTP, right? I could send you an email that looks like it's from [email protected] if I wanted to.

Yeah, but of she hasn't paid tuition in awhile, and she saw final payment notice from her school, she would probably put two and two together.

I think it's good that you were dropped since you aren't smart enough to open an email.

32 - Yes, you'd be able to do that. But that's why anybody with a brain would open it, and then look at the contents and where any links in the email lead to. And if somebody is getting an email FROM THEIR SCHOOL, it's better to check it. This is where the "Better safe than sorrry," comes in.

I agree with #13. An letter?

How did you think you were going to be allowed to stay in school if you "refused" to pay your tuition?? I note that you specify that you "refused" to pay, not that you forgot or were waiting on a loan or something legit. They don't just offer it for free, you know, no matter what your principles about not paying for stuff might be! Also, echoing above commenters, you apply to only be semi-literate, so I question how you actually got yourself into a university in the first place.

How did you not put two and two together here?! You clearly knew you hadn't paid your tuition bill. Did you really think your school would "forget" that you never paid?!

ladies and gentlemen, the dumbing of the world is evident in this FML...

"a letter" not "an letter" You don't deserve to be in college.
