Phish: RE:SERIOUS ORGANISED CRIME AGENCY

Wow! Interpol is contacting me directly? I'm so special! And they're even giving me a private email address with which to contact them, since that's what hotmail is, right? And, oh... I suppose "interpolscamalert" was taken as an email address since they were forced to use "intapolscamalart", which is nearly the same thing.

And, how interesting. Information that I gave them about a scam helped them to catch the scammer! Oh, wait. I never gave information to Interpol about anything, and I have yet to be scammed for anything but my email address.

And how interesting that they're based "here in the UK", yet list the address of Jersey City, United States. And which Jersey City, anyway? That's not a state, you numbskulls!

*snarf* This spam was so funny, I had to read it aloud to my husband before posting it. I'll just mark the funniest typos in blue.
