I received a Nigerian spam
today. It was caught, but they have definitely mutated it beyond logic. Here is
the kicker part:
"I must use

indulgence to keep this matter extraordinary
confidential, whatever your decision, while I
await your prompt response.Please visit this website :

At first I was surprised to
see a link in a 419. Then I went to it and expected it to be a phony page. Then
I looked closely......
Check out the site!!!
Notice the little orange box in the middle of the story!!!!
This is by far, the
STUPIDEST tactic I have ever seen a spammer use! Looks like he might have taken
a legit news article and tried to use it in is 419. Only to have the article
have a very noticable link to what a 419 scam is! I'm simply dumbfounded
:)
I dare anyone to show me
something dumber then this!
