The world never fails to amaze me. I received this e-mail yesterday at this blog's e-mail address:
From: Opec Award <xxxxxxx@notarealaddy.com.invalid>
To: undisclosed-recipients@null, null@null
Subject: Attention: Read Carefully
Date: Jan 14, 2013 2:28 AM
--
Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries
Obere Donaustrasse 93
A-1020 Vienna,
Austria
ATTN:
You have been chosen as one of the LUCKY RECIPIENT of the excess funds generated from petroleum products(Africa,Asia and Pacific region) in the past years. For further information
Email 1: zairahoshiko447@yyyyy.com.invalid
Sincerely,
Zaira Hoshiko
On three large continents, with some of the most poverty-stricken nations on the planet, these folks can't think of anything to do with their "excess funds" but offer them to an Internet persona named after a rabid animal. I bet these folks would fit right in on the Obama Administration's economics team.
Afterword: Since I haven't done on of these in a while, I'll point out that nothing in the e-mail should be taken as real information, even the e-mail address after the "Email 1:". That, as it turns out, was the reply address before I altered it a little. Who knows who is scamming whom here?
