i love it when spammers don't even try. seriously, it's one of the few things on the internet i can truly laugh at with no regrets.
this arrived in my inbox a little while ago. at first, it looks almost legit, which is more than i can say for most of the spam that gets through thunderbird's spam filter. but the closer i looked at it, the more weirdness i saw.
first off, i don't even bank at Bank of America. nobody in my family does. second, that isn't my e-mail address, and i doubt BofA has figured out what the BCC function does. third, the reply-to is horrendous. fourth, the headers show this was sent from a personal comcast account using some random mail client, and not a business account. fifth, the received-from field doesn't match up, which probably means the botnet is using comcast webmail with a phished account. and last but not least, the link goes to a site in denmark which isn't even valid.
i had to laugh. heartily. and i had to post it here.
also as you may have noticed, seibaaaaaa has been replaced. as awesome as she is, it was time for a change. i think yuno fits nicely.
