It's bad enough to have people try to get confidential information, but it's even worse when it's BAD phishing, you know?

I don't know whether to be insulted or laugh. I'll choose to ridicule them.

You, too, can join in by posting your own comments about poor phishing attempts.



This is what arrived this morning:

It actually arrived looking like that - bad html and all - in my email this morning.

Funny thing is, I don't even have a Paypal account.

I like making my very good friend happy and bringing a big smile to her face. A very deserving lady.

To topic: When you get phishing mails that are translated via babelfish, you know what stupid means…

(This was supposed to be in my first post…)
