STRONG BAD: Initiate email check in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Dear Mr. Bad We regret to inform you that your credit card has expired. To keep your account, we will need you to send your old credit card number and expiration date, as well as a new one so we can make the change. We promise we are real and not just trying to steal your money. John, and some other people who aren't scam artists
STRONG BAD: Whoa, this sounds pretty serious. I know just what to do. Just a little of this... {He changes "Mr. Bad" to "Homestar Runner"} Ooh, maybe a dash of that... {He changes the signature to "Superfied Credit Union". He then types "forward message", forwarding it to Homestar Runner.}
{Fade to black. The text "5 minutes later" is typed in, then after a pause, backspaced out. Fade back in.}
STRONG BAD: Okay, let's see what we got here...
{Strong Bad and a voice-over of Homestar begin reading simultaneously, but Strong Bad stops reading after the word "Credit".}
Dear Superfied Credit Union, You've got the same e-mail address as my friend Strong Bad! Anyway, here's my credit card information:

Fun Facts
- Homestar's credit card apparently expired in the thirteenth month of 2002.
- This email shows a mouse cursor on the Tandy 400, which clearly doesn't have a mouse.
- The first four numbers in Homestar's credit card number can be used to access the pack of Homsar quotes from "Downloads."
- There is a website dedicated to this email. (See External Links.)
Cost of Some Stuff on the Internet
- spaceship - $3,000,000,000
- rocket launcher - $1,000,000
- killer robot - $6,000,000
- 200 bean burritos - $300
- robotic dog/shark - $500,000
- assorted awesome things - $30,000
- golden limousine - $900,000
- two-headed cobra - (seasonal) market price
- bag of money - assorted amounts
- When Strong Bad types in "run_internet", it automatically goes to www.coolest_stuff_ever.com, which shows that www.coolest_stuff_ever.com is Strong Bad's homepage.
- So far, this is the only time that Strong Bad has been seen accessing the internet. He describes being on the internet in Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2, but it is not seen.
- It appears that Strong Bad is overestimating Homestar's intelligence here, as he changes the signature of the e-mail as if it would be too easy for Homestar to figure out. Judging by Homestar's level of intelligence he demonstrates elsewhere on the site, this probably wasn't necessary.
