The "PHISHING for Stupidity" folks are STILL at it with 'better' ideas!

PHISHING is the practice of sending out fake emails, or SPAM, written to
appear as if they have been sent by banks or other reputable organisations,
with the intent of luring the recipient into revealing sensitive information
such as usernames, passwords, account IDs, ATM PINs or credit card details.

Don't even open them! Delete them!! AND....Do stop by the

Webmaster's Note of Interest- August 24, 2008:

From recent "YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING" emails:

#1. .......We are upgrading.....for better.......We request
your username and password for Identification purpose only.
(say Wha???!!!)

#2. Low cost, high value (insert drugname here) guarenteed
delievery. (it actually did have that '(insert...' in it.)

#3. Get your college degree at the level you deserve: 
Doctorete, bachelor, or higher. (maybe even a speeling degree.)

Update; August 23 2008. From Pam and THANKS!
# 4. Please fill out the attached form so (xxxxxxx Service)
can complete this transaction and deliever this package.
(Hmmm: unknown email with unknown attachment for an unknown
package...  Yes, Phishing Now Comes with Virus attachments! )

Update; September 20 2008. Maybe a variation of #1 above:
# 5. You are about to be disenfranchise from your internet
access. To insure continuasion you must provide username, password
and personal phone number immediately. (disenfranchise...
insure continuasion[misspeeled!]....personal phone number....
Say Wha Again???!!!)

Update; November 22 2008. The phishers and spammers are really
getting their efforts on with all the financial difficulties
happening. Watch for 'quiet' attempts to convince you to 'check'
your account in (insert name) bank, investment, and/or market. 
They have even found a way to do it via your cellphone & PDA!

The above are snippets from actual emails that have received. 
They have gotten to a point where I actually look for them. 
WHY??!! To see how far they will go in attempting to make me
Stupid; also they are moving into the 'humor check' column! :-)

Can YOU top any of them? Forward them to me and I'll post them 
here. HOWEVER, Never open them, OK?
