Spam: Another 419
Those 419 scammers never ever give up! Attached is a copy of their latest spam campaign.
But it’s OK, because this time it’s from the crime prevention folks at the United Nations - that should make you feel much more secure. Apparently, if you send them some personally identifiable information, and, no doubt, an endless stream of wire transfers, you’ll receive 2 ‘Security Proof Box’ full of cash! If you believe them, I have a lovely bridge you might be interested in.
Remember the Sophos motto regarding spam: Don’t try, Don’t buy, Don’t reply!
