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.
