Phish: YOUR SCAM COMPENSATION FROM BRITISH HIGH COMMISSION

This one was just bizarre. The body of the email came in a light blue box on the far right of my screen, with a photo of some people... praying? It was weird.

Then, while they're talking about my having been scammed in Nigeria (which I haven't), they invite me to look at photos? On a site that seems more or less like flikr or photobucket. Then they claim to be the British High Commission, but the photo site is copyrighted in India. Huh?

I haven't visited the listed website since I have an absolute paranoia about clicking links in obvious scam emails. But, yanno, that's just me.

Then, they contacted me again a few days later, but this time without the offer of pictures. Aw, I'm so disappointed!
