He gave them the address and telephone number for greater manchester police station number under the name of Gene Hunt.Spitfire175 said:These nigerians who send emails to old people in rich countries and ask for money with the wildest stories. In Finland someone scamed back and told he had connections to the russian mafia.

They are even more funny when the spelling is purposly awful.

That is quite possibly the most hilarious thing I've read so far. The most I get are quick-gen spams from something with a similar address, same basic name and service but the numbers change.manicfoot said:I once got an email from someone's who's email address was exactly the same as mine and the subject was "I'm in hospital." Why the hell would I email myself saying that!? A few days later I got another one from the same address and the subject was "open it, you jew!"

LOL I received the exact same e-mail the other dayYassen said:Spam Phishing is the commonly known act of someone sending out floods of very obvious scams through mass email in the hopes that a small percentage will be stupid enough to take the bait. I'm sure most of us has gotten a few of these in our times on the internet.
But have you ever received such a blantantly obvious attempt at someone trying to scam you that it was actually rather funny and pathetic? Or similarly, ever seen a website attempting to do something similar?
I recently got a spam email sent to me with some Phisher telling me some story about loosing his family in a third world country and inheriting 13 million dollars or something. (Trying to pull on my heart-strings eh?) And then concluded by saying he wanted me to invest a large sum to bring him over here and share that fortune with me. What made it amusing is when he said he had only shared this information with me and only me. Which might have been flattering if in the Cc section at the top I could see he'd mass emailed it to dozens of other people.
