The spammers are getting luckier
An e-mail spammer finally wrote from a bank that I actually have dealings with, so I was tricked into taking a second to scan it:
Wellsfargo Bank, is here by announcing the Newa Security Upgrade
in this day’s,We’ve upgraded our new SSL servers to serve our customers for a better and
secure banking service against any fraudulent activities.
Strangely, I got almost the same exact e-mail from someone else, except the English is a bit better:
HSBC Internet Banking, is here by announcing the New Security Upgrade.
We’ve upgraded our new SSL servers to serve our customers for a better and
secure online banking service, against any fraudulent activities.
Meanwhile, the spam comments have mysteriously dropped to a mere tickle. Derek must have gotten rid of all those meds.
i got the same message, from Wells Fargo, who happens to hold my mortgage. thing is, i don’t have a regular account with them, so i realized it’s spam. that and they wanted my account info. i’ve only got one of those though, however, i am still flooded by people telling me how small my penis is and how they can make it bigger.

once, we clicked on one of the phishing emails and typed in “F–K YOU” in every field, and submitted it. It was fun, but not as gratifying as we thought it would be. TAKE THAT, you..faceless..email!

@Chessloser: Hopefully, those aren’t from your wife.
@Annie: Yeah, it loses a little of the fun without seeing the reaction.
