Spam-a-licious!

I received some excellent spam in my work account over the weekend:

1. "From Your Daughter Fatima" I was a little startled by this one. I had no idea that I had a daughter - let alone one named Fatima. Upon reading the email, however, I learned she was not my daughter (I was rather disappointed. To gain and lose a family member so quickly is rather traumatic.). Rather, she was the daughter of an assassinated cocoa merchant and needed help getting to America and accessing her inheritance. Even though she is offering a great deal of compensation if I help her, I'm still upset by her false declaration. I don't think I could help her after such a start to our relationship.

2. Mrs. Janet Obaseki asked me to help her move $18 million from Nigeria to the US. Her husband is throwing her out because she has not produced any children. However, he is apparently going to let her keep this $18 million - something I find rather suspect. She swears it was not gotten illegally or the result of selling drugs or weapons, but I find that hard to believe. Sorry, Mrs. Obaseki. I would think that a husband who is willing to let you keep $18 million will be able to help you even if he is dumping you.

3. For the second time, the British Online International Lottery has declared me a winner! Apparently my email was randomly chosen as one of 20 winners of $1 million. Fantastic! I didn't even have to buy a ticket or anything. I must say this all looks very legit. Until you scroll all the way down to the bottom and see that this was "Mail sent from WebMail service at Ring of Fire Wrestling." Somehow I don't see the British government using a pro-wrestling web mail service.
