Nigeria Connection Spam - the Fun

[akk]

I just received a very polite, very detailed email properly addressed and everything, informing me that I would be the inheritor of a large sum of money from a recently deceased distant relative owning a UK based oil company. The writer of said mail then continued that he'd be an established lawyer and would be searching said inheritors all over the world for the past six months...

...and the email address of this renowned, international lawyer searching for the heirs of the dear 85-year-old oil tycoon was burrito@aol.com!

Totally believable, that one.

LOL, I've gotten so many of those over the years and the sender emails always make me laugh too xD. You'd think they'd at least make the effort to make the email professional xP

In a lot of mail programs, it works, because there only the official name Mr. XYZ instead of the actual address behind it, is shown. So ppl using one of those mail clients get a mail from Mr. XYZ and don't see that Mr. XYZ's email address is not XYZ@somethingbelievable but burrito@ridiculous. ;)
