If they're not trying to scam you with get rich quick schemes from Cancer Widows, Unscrupulous Bankers, Former Cabinet Ministers, and Beloved Former Tyrants (yes, the capitalization is intentional), they do the other route and spam you with crap you don't need in your email or your blog comments. I've been getting a lot of spam lately in one of my email accounts, to the point where I wonder if blocking them means they're actually blocked, because I swear, I keep seeing the same emails coming up. Or there's this bit of nonsense, which tried to get posted in a post on the Easter Bunny of all things.
The Rothschild family is a wealthy Ashkenazi Jewish family originally from Frankfurt that rose to prominence with Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744–1812).
TIME TO SEE THE LIGHT IS NOW!!!
Don't lose this life opportunity. Join ILLUMINATI and achieve
WEALTH, FAME AND POWERS.
Remember you are human for a purpose therefore serve goodness and strive for the benefit of your species and you'll be rewarded for your stewardship, and gain financial freedom today.

And that crap was followed by a series of links that I did not copy and paste, as I'd rather not give them any site traffic, but which featured discussions like joining the illuminati, the Moldova illuminati, and the Romanian illuminati. Because going down that particular rabbit hole sounds like a swell idea. It's really not.
There is no Illuminati. There once was, but there's not anymore, as much as the conspiracy theorists would like you to believe. The Freemasons exist, but then again, they're weirdos. And the Rothschilds exist, but then again, their patriarch is the model for Monty Burns.
No, the Illuminati in this case is nothing more than an attempt to get some poor sucker actually believing it's a good idea to click on those links. At which time, someone at the far end of a long line of nonsense emails starts data mining you and trying to figure out a way to get into your bank account.
And peddling in conspiracy theories is their game, which means there's no shortage of rubes out there in the world willing to believe it.
This is somewhat less annoying than other conspiracy theories. I may not see this spammer for years. Considerably worse would be the flat earth brigade, who scream bloody murder every single time there's a story about space that the world is flat because, well, they said so. It never fails. Despite the mountain of evidence that speaks to a globe. Still, it is annoying, and to them I would say this.
Do us all a favour and get fitted for cement shoes.
