Spam I just got on hotmail
Saw just today (doesn’t include less dangerous spam)
1) From: William Vusi
Part of it said: “I was doing my annual auditing in our bank this year I
discovered there is an account opened in this bank far back in the 80’s
and since then nobody has operated it. So i went through some old
files in the records, I discovered that if I do not remit this money out
urgently it would be forfeited. Moreover, as an auditor i won’t be able to
claim this amount.
“The owner of this account is Mr. Andreas B. Smith, a foreigner and a
Miner at Kruger Gold Company. A Geologist by profession, who died in
1990.”
2) From: membersavings@passporttofunplus.com
Subject line: Your Passport to Fun+ Membership Information - UPCOMING CHARGE
Big alarming headline that says: “UNLESS YOU CANCEL, YOUR CREDIT
CARD ACCOUNT WILL BE CHARGED.”
Then: “You’re receiving this email because you accepted a special offer to save money through the Passport to Fun+SM savings service.” Which I haven’t.
