Scam emails

No, there's always Dumbest yet to come.

Thanks for the updates about scams. I don't think I would have noticed their email address peculiarities, if you mention them. But I have to add. You all are getting scams, all the time- a couple this week, one or two last week. Well, what the hell is wrong with me? Not that I crave to get them, I've never gotten one. I feel snubbed by scammers.

Fuzzybuddy, this is really amazing! I was just about to write to you, and here you are!

I received an email from your bank, which was meant for you but mistakenly sent to me. It said you have an inheritance coming to you, in the amount of $547,968, from a distant relative. He had no other family, so the money automatically goes to you.

In order to pay you this windfall (congratulations, by the way!) the bank needs your account number and password. Please send them to me, and I will be sure the bank gets them and deposits the inheritance in your account.

This is a little bit off the subject, but I notice that when shopping online and reading the description of the item, it is often written in really horrible fractured English. Even if the clothing is all made in China, can't they get someone who is literate in English to write the description? A 5-year-old kid could write better!

If someone was fluent in that language, they could charge a fortune to translate to English.

I have had several over the past month or so, I think
that they must be done by children, the return address
of the missive is always a persons name @ somewhere
and not the organisation that they claim to be!

Not an e-mail, but I finally got a "Grandpa" call. The caller said he was in a car accident, and I went along with it. He said he was in the hospital but the police came and he failed a breathalyzer test. I said, "I hope you rot in jail", and hung up
