The latest 419 spam has crossed my inbox threshold. This one claims to be from a White gentleman in Zimbabwe hoping to establish a company in the States so as to get the hell out of Mugabe's way and not get sucked up in the land-reform program. Sez he's been there 35 years and has no country to go to... anyway, there's $13.5 million mentioned, I have to be the owner/primary partner of the company 'cos he's Foreign, bla bla bla. It's a new approach but the same song, really. One thing about it made me smile, though - the fraudster's name:
Mr Anderson Smith. Or, according to the way he signed the email as opposed to how he wrote it in the body, Smith Anderson.
"How can you send an email... when you can't... type?" *fingers melt into one big mitteny mass*
Good-bye, Mr. Anderson. The men in suits and sunglasses will be at your door shortly.
