I would love to meet someone that has fallen for this email, then beat them to death with a lumphammer for being so stupid, it would be the kind thing to do...

They are not even that clever any more!

Yet you took the time to comment on it?

You must be very bored

(ps, you can choose which threads you read, and which you don't. I do it all the time, you just dont click on it. Keep it quiet though )

I missed the 'spam' part in your thread title and thought it might've been a work related e-mail

I had an odd one the other day: An email claiming to be from those heir hunter probate people that were on the beeb a while ago wanting my contact information. They even link to the iplayer link to play an episode. This was also a surprisingly well worded and gramatically correct email, but the reply address was yahoo.com.hk...

That's the problem if you are a Nigerian - You can send an email to look like it has come from any address in the world. You just cannot recieve so you are stuck using a free email provider.

I really enjoyed Bedford's review. I think he should do more.

Preferably in the style of someone who has just found toenails in a hotel bed and then written a Trip Advisor review.

This week I have mainly been receiving in my inbox:

Taxpayer ID: XXXX-00000174073547US
Tax Type: INCOME TAX
Issue: Unreported/Underreported Income (Fraud Application)
Please review your tax statement on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website (click on the link below):
review tax statement for taxpayer id: XXXX-00000174073547US
Internal Revenue Service



Which includes a dodgy link to a pretend IRS site where you get to give them all your bank details.

So what was in the package?

I got a spam mail once, it was awesome. I wish I'd had the foresight to post it here for the 'lulz'.

A rubbish lie.

You're just saying that to be popular.

You're right, I was just trying to be one of the cool people. I haven't had a spam message in years, don't judge me for it.

Now you're just being silly. It will never fit through the phone lines.
