my sister (age 14) actually downloaded an 'anti-virus' program because our computer was 'infected' with '13 malware programs.'

it wiped my family desktop's hard drive.

i have my own laptop, however, so i laughed.

I saw something saying that I could become a minister in a few months. Me, not believing in God in the slightest.

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.
Its so funny when people bite back hehe. My dad emailed back the scammers with "his details". He gave them the address and telephone number for greater manchester police station number under the name of Gene Hunt.
They are even more funny when the spelling is purposly awful.

I see these ones posted on Youtube sites, stuff like "go to this site to see young pussy" or something on those lines. Also on Youtube there's these spam things they do with "So and so was raped on her bed if you don't post this on 5 more videos then this will happen to you" and the worse thing about it is that people actually post them.

I think it has to come to when I enter my inbox and there are about twenty messages from someone who calls herself 'Curioushottie' who is looking for a man and is from the same city and somehow found my email address and is sending me messages most of which saying stuff like 'transition money for fun' kinda things.
I never reply because it's:
A. So obviously fake
B. This is basically how the guys in Hostel first got into trouble

And of course like with everyone else, those fake Royalty messages really are a plague.

My favorite is the Porn Name scam.
What's your porn name? It's your first pet and the street you grew up on, just like the safety questions to access your bank account.

The only spam I've gotten recently is misspelled bestiality porn. Thanks, but I'm just not interested in seeing 'hot teenies choke on h;orsec-ock'.
Oh, and there's the kind from a completely random name, like that one time when I got an email from 'Marianne Summers' with the subjectline, 'Hi! It's your friend Kevin from the office!"

Considering I was fifteen, the laziest bastard in the world, and I didn't know a Kevin, I found that quite funny.

I remember getting this one e-mail about how I could get a doctorate with 10 $ or something. I wasn't sure since it was so full of misspelling and bad english.

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!"
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.

Me too, pal. Me too. XD

Once I got a river of those from the same source. When I told them, "Thank you, but down my knee is quite long enough", they stopped.
Other answers include "Which one?" and "From the sounds of things, looks like you could use it yourself" along with the forwarded message in entirety :D

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.
LOL I received the exact same e-mail the other day
