Federal Bureau Investigation


08/04/2009

This one was caught by my SpamSentinel spam filter, and was too good not to post. I highlighted the stupid parts that would alert anyone who is thinking that this is a fraud, starting with the subject: Federal Bureau Investigation (the missing "of" really jumps out at you ). Translators must cost more than $296 (the amount they are trying to phish or steal). Why bother making an email that will actually fool people?

The bottom line: The author should be fired from being a Nigerian scammer.
