Great Moments in Spam


Maybe I'm sick, but I enjoy spam. I love the bizarre subject lines those English-as-a-fifteenth-language guys come up with (see above) to snag your attention. 'Uprise'?!

I also love the scams that try to sucker you into ID theft via get-rich scenarios no-one could possibly fall for. (Or maybe they do???)

I got one today (see below) that was an instant classic of the genre. First surprise: the British prime minister wanted to give me "Two Million, Great British Pounds Sterling" for nothing. Hurrah! Second surprise: the UK government uses an Armenian top level domain for official email replies. You'd think they'd have hotmail at least.
