What was that they said?????.

I always go through my GMail spam and manually trash them, just in case something got put in there by accident. After all, artificial intelligence really isn't. (Intelligence that is. It's definitely artificial).



Sometimes they are good for laughs.



Like the one that I allegedly got from an Oregon credit union with a subject of "Correct you'r information". As if I'm going to join a credit union that can't use proper grammer.



And then I realize that some time that I don't remember that I must have gone to Oregon and joined a credit union out there.



C'mon scammers: at least learn proper grammer with your ill-gotten gains. There are dozens of English lessons that you can buy.

And you want this how?

I had to laugh. I got an obvious pfishing email. It reads (in full):

I have been directed to inform you that you have been chosen for a cash
grantof 1,000,000.00 POUNDS by the board of trustees of the above stated non- governmental aid organization UK INTERNATIONAL LOTT. Your grant number is 73/7112/EsD.
Contact Mr Ben Andrew

Please provide him with the under listed information,

1. Full Names.
2. Residential Address.
3. Phone Number.
4. Occupation.
5. Sex.
6. Age.
7. Nationality.
8. Present Country of residence


And exactly how is this scam going to work? There is absolutely no indication as to where to contact our dear Mister Ben Andrew, even if I had it in my heart to give away my personal information to a stranger. No links, nothing.

This is one for the D'oh awards.
