I thought readers might be tickled by this effusion which landed in my email box today (Chello is the old name that my ISP was known by - although it changed about two years ago):

Yeah, but that's not lame, that's fiendishly clever. :D
 
Chi!

It look lemijitimat to me. i advice to following informaion or consikwens failureto lo-gon.
 
The ones I get are like this:

"Thz is the seestem administratore for Banke of America. Wee have reecently spotted some unexplained activite on ur bank ackount. Plz log in at www.nohonestwerereallybankofamerica.com and enter al uf ur personal info so we can reeezolve the issue

Sinceerly,

Some very imprtant ppl at Banke of America
 
My favorite part of e-mails like these are the "trustworthy westerner" names they come up with, one of my favorite signatures on a nigerian email I ever got was:
"yours in Christ,
Abram Rutherford Kingsley III"

With a name like that, he must be rich!
 
What really irritates me is I get frequent of obvious spam etc earnestly addressed to "Michael" in the subject line, and my name definitely ain't Michael.
If you're gonna try and spam/phish at least don't make it obvious without even opening the email and don't keep calling me Michael!
 
try those stories about transferring a million bucks from the south African Bank account and the sweet poor person stories that go along with them... I got a few of those earlier this year

The highlighted words are untranslated Dutch words. And as with the English words, they have been sloppy with the spaces:
alonze = al onze = all our
deonderstaande = de onderstaande = the ... below
rangvan = rang van = rank of
daarbijvan = daarbij van = thereof of (???)
And I still have trouble understanding what message they try to convey.
 
I got one once that was THE most awesome piece of bop poetry I ever read:

lovely tog dossal.
parly gouge peril upset.
hotair taiga cower beauty?
upset golly.
braird detour tamer fab!
palpal racer hotair tricky!
whorl braird levee.
horn wane ombre.
ombre jumpy.


rive dossal wane racer!
pellet taiga lovely grout?
braird jut.
confab hotair mat grout.
cower whorl meat legate.
doomed cosmic baking boon!
 
I used to do some work with this group... good (relatively at any rate) bunch of people taking on some real scamming bastards.

http://www.419eater.com/index.php

I think I may have gotten a scammer arrested in the UK. They had a nice set up, pretending to be the UK lotto commission and had a whole website with links, etc. I was pretending to be an old guy with memory issues and couldn't figure out the system at MoneyMart. In desperation to get the money, the scammer sent me his banking info so I could send it direct. I directed the info the the local police. The website was down the next morning and my emails couldn't reach the guy. I don't know what happened to him though.

I hate phishers.

A lot of people see online scammers just as pests, but they can be far more of a problem than that. Many of the people they prey on are just desperate to see a better tomorrow and latch on to the hope that the deal is real.

Not worse than televangelists or John Edward... but close.

:eye-poppi
 
Ha I keep getting attempts to deprive me of money for fathers day cards from moonpig.com

this must be some sort of scam cos my dad died years ago
;)
 
I seem to have gone back in time, I'm getting all the ads very concerned about my size and performance once again, though they do go straight to junk at least. What are they all about...are they just looking for active email accounts to spam?

If they used spell checker it wouldnt be so much fun to recieve your spam though would it?
 
I chuckle whenever I get a phishing mail sent to the email account I use for signing up to dodgy forums/websites. Some of those urls are pretty darn impressive to say the least.

Of todays batch, my favourite must be:
secure.runescape.com.en.secure-runescrpe.com

Yes. Why they'd translate it out of Dutch to send to an ISP in the Netherlands, though, is another mystery.
 
I think you people are just spam cynics.
I reply to them all.

You can too.
Send me $50 and I'll explain how.
