Sickening SPAM Email

2345876 · 25-11-09, 12:25 PM

Today I have received this spam email and in all honesty it got me quite angry. Not only does the email state the woman has six months to live due to cancer, it also mentions her husband who has been killed in the Afghan war.

Firstly, my great grandmother died from breast cancer a few years ago. And secondly so many lives have been lost during the war that it seems disgusting to use this as a hoax to get me to give my banking details out!

Here is the email:

It is also worth noting "her" email address was @sify.com - an Indian Company

You guys all need to see this: Welcome to 419Eater

It's so great!

Edit: Why does this sound like such an advertisement! It's a website about scam baiting. Waste the scammers time and try to make them look as silly as possible.
