Phish: Business Transaction.

Ooook. Yes, I do live in the western world. However, that doesn't mean that I would want to accept money on your behalf, even if I thought you were going to offer me a large cut of the cash- like, $10 million or so. Which, you probably will.

You know, I find it very interesting that someone who's obviously so high up in the Chinese government (I mean, your email address says "officialgov"- so you must be official, right?) is so poorly off that he has to use the Chinese Yahoo email. I mean, I know gas prices are high for you as well, but I didn't know it was as bad as all that.

You know what? Since you're having such a hard time of it, I'll do this thing. I'll accept money on your behalf. Just have it sent to: ImaScammer@yahoo.cn

Why certainly, Mr. Samson. I'd like to invest in a profitable investment too. Right now, I recommend food. It's the one thing that Americans can't cut back on while we're being gouged with gas prices. Or, how about auto insurance companies? All drivers are required by law to have it, so I'd go with the cheap suppliers of said insurance. No need to contact me, your financial security is all the thanks I need.

Phish: Confirn The Receipt Of This Mail....

Oh Lord. These people just don't get it. If you want to scam someone, don't start off by shooting yourself in the foot. In other words: Spell the d*mn subject line right!

First- I'll give him props because I like colorful gifs and pix in my emails. Also, I just get a kick out of "Big, Strong, Reliable" since it sounds just like something else that wants to get you up the ***.

Does anyone actually believe that the United Nations would "compensate" 150 scam victims with a million dollars? Yeah, me neither. And my name was mentioned by one of the scam artists? Cuz, I've never been scammed, except in matters of the heart. Somehow, I don't think that qualifies for a million bucks.

I'm just going to color in the funniest bits in blue. Truly staggering use of the English language.

Phish: Loan Offer

Oh, how I love this. How many times have I said, and will I say "don't take out loans with people who use free email addresses"? This guy not only has a free email address, he has two! Yahoo and hotmail!

Totally ignoring the poor English and strange use of punctuation; this guy actually mis-spells his own name. In several places he has "Patrick Ehis", but at the end, he spells it "Patrick Ehi". Maybe he just has a split personality, both halves of which lack creativity?

Phish: FROM CAPTAIN SALIFU TEMBE

Again with the weird capitalization! Now, on the one hand, this guy offers up many more details than these scams usually do. On the other hand, he makes many of the same mistakes. 1) bad capitalization/spelling/grammar/punctuation 2) Says he wants a professional, when a professional would not be interested in a deal like this- even if it were legit 3) unprofessional email address

Bonus: Love the name "Captain Salifu Tembe"- it sounds like a reject from a super-hero movie.

Phish: MESSAGE FROM KATE 26/5/2008

Yars. Honey, I don't even go into business with people I know, do you really think I'm going to contact you about "business" when I've never heard of you before in my life? And if I were going to take up a random stranger on a matter of business, it would not be with someone who writes all their correspondence in all caps.

Ye gods, I get offers this vague from people I know. You know what it usually is? They want to "go in together" on some Ebay shop. You know why? Cuz they don't want to do it themselves- they want you to do it for them. When people you don't know approach you like this, you know why? Cuz they want you to send them money.

At least this one was blessedly short.

Phish: Important : Billing Problem

This one was easy for soooo many reasons. 1) I don't own anything apple, nor have a downloaded any of their software, nor have I ever set up a payment for anything Apple. 2) Like Apple would really send such a pathetically written email. 3) Like Apple would really use links that aren't direct to their website (hover your mouse over any link, and look at the lower left of your screen- it should tell you where the link goes, unless it's cloaked).

However- I give them props for using a cool graphic.

I have been waiting for you to contact me for your Confirmable Bank
Draft of $800.000.00 United States Dollars, but I did not hear from you
since that time. Then I went and deposited the Draft with FEDEX COURIER
SERVICE, West Africa, I travelled out of the country for 3 Months Course
and I will not come back till end of September.

What you have to do now is to contact the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE as
soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you
because of the expiring date. For your information, I have paid for the
delivering Charge, Insurance premium and Clearance Certificate Fee of
the Cheque showing that it is not a Drug Money or meant to sponsor
Terrorist attack in your Country.

The only money you will send to the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE to deliver
your Draft direct to your postal Address in your country is ($200.00 US)
Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far.
Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except
$200.00US Dollars. I would have paid that but they said no because they
don't know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage.

You have to contact the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE now for the delivery of

your Draft with this information bellow:

Contact Person:Mr.Larry Owen

Email Address: fedexdispatch847@hotmail.com

Telephone:+(234)802-876-8330

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address() and Direct
telephone number to them again to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and
ask them to give you the tracking number to enable you track your
package over there and know when it will get to your address. Let me
repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to
avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their Security Keeping
fee of $200.00 US Dollars for their immediate action. You should also
let me know through email as soon as you receive your Draft.

Ptooey! Further proof that scammers and spammers have no heart. Not that I think many people would fall for this, and it was clever of them to indicate that this is just a regular person from another country so that the poor English was excusable. But, yech!

MY HEART DESIRE

Good day and God bless,

Greetings to you in the name of God Almighty. I am former Mrs. Memunat
Mohamed Galal, now I am

Mrs. Mary Mohamed Galal a widow to Late Dr.Mohamed Galal.

I am an old woman; suffering from cancer. From all indications, my
condition is really deteriorating

and is quite obvious that I may not live long, because the cancer stage
has gotten to a very severe

stage.

My late husband died in an air crash on the 31st October 1999 in an
Egyptian airline Boeing 990 with

other passengers on board. You can confirm this fact from the website
which was aired by the BBC

WORLDNEWS:(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm) and my
only daughter died in BOMB ATTACK LONDON.

My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all
his business and wealth. My

personal physician told me that I may not live for so long and I am so
scared about this. So, I now

decided to divide part of this wealth, by contributing to the well
being of less privileged

people and handicapped in the society of world America,
Canada,Africa,Europe and Asian Countries.

This mission, who will no doubt be tasking had made me to recently
relocate to Africa where I live

presently. I selected you for this Purpose and prayed over it, I am
willing to donate the sum of

$7,300,000.00 Million US Dollars to you for the development of the well
being of handicapped in the

society and also as aids for the less privileged around your
country,and i have map out $1,700.000.00

for your own personal use to help me for this work.

Please note that, this fund is lying in a Security Bank.Therefore
immediate application for the

transfer of the money in your name or your home. Please, do not reply
me if you have the intention of

using this fundfor personal use, than enhancement of the comfort of the
Handicapped.

Lastly, I want you/your home to be praying for me as regards my entire
life and my health because I

have come to find out since my spiritual birth lately that wealth
acquisition without God one's life is

vanity upon vanity.

I await your reply.

Spam Comments, The Other White Meat

Oh, come on you dumb-*ss spam commentors. At least get clever. Funny spam gets a free pass on my blogs. Unless it's loaded with links, anyway.

This type of stuff, however? Does not.

That was on a post about how to add WordPress to HostGator.

I’m very interested in topics like that, but this one sounds especially
truthful, and I really trust the source where it came from. Sooner or later it
was going to come out and it finally did!

It is one of things
I can never understand … how people can think that way. It’s so illogical that
it can only be based upon moronity.


That was deleted from a post listing tips on taking pictures at Walt Disney World.

And, I seriously love these. The only post on this blog was a 7 word "happy birthday" post, as the domain was a gift to my mother.

It’s gratifying
to see not only that such positive things happen, but that they are being
REPORTED.

Your previous
posts were real rubbish, but this is good. This one is brilliant. Your blog is
getting really better.

Really? My previous posts were rubbish? There WERE NO PREVIOUS POSTS! Honestly, I don't think my mother would appreciate a "brilliant" response from someone who's website involves multiple penetration. And, Dmitri can't agree with
"Dear Mamma,
Happy Birthday a few months early. " ?

Although, I can see how it would be gratifying to see positive things happen, such as giving a domain as a gift....

But, as an example of the spam I do keep: "unrepresented somnolency maculation hypogeal grassnut copied alehouse retread" I love it. Privately, it cracks me up. Publicly, I tell people it's very deep, spoken word poetry.
