they have obviously put it through some sort of translation program and its done it pretty shoddily

[Jonny M]

Does anyone actually fall for these phishing attacks? And/or respond to spam emails?

The low returns people must get from doing it would make you think they'd give up.

[Alex]

Apparently so... I seem to remember in a copy of PC Pro or some such thing they were saying that in America alone its a million dollar industry.

If the money wasnt there, people wouldnt bother would they?

I think i just recived the worlds WORST spelled phishing email

The grammer may not be perfect, but am I missing something with the spelling mistakes? I can't see any...

[schmunk]

Has some waggish Mod gone in and edited the first post?

[nichomach]

Anyone remember that research that was done recently that proved that even in the case of gross misspelling as long as a reasonable number of the actual letters were there, a sentence would remain comprehensible, since we rarely actually read whole words, we just quick-scan them and intuit what they are from their context?

[dkmech]

I can't see anything wrong with the spelling either and i have read it carefully. Its not like what you are describing nichimach (but i do remember that).

[RVF500]

Nicho, case in point. I took an exam the othe rday and saw a question (or rather thought I had) hit the answer Iexpected to see and moved on. 2 questions later I thought hullo, exactly the same question. Went back to the original and there was one letter different and it was also something I hadn't expected to see. Though it was a perfectly valid question. If it hadn't been for the next question I'd have missed it altogether.

RTFQ !!!!

Also, I'm working for an ISP at the moment. We had a massice spam attack over the weekend. There are many variations of the spam mail asking for money such as this one below.

PRIVATE AND URGENT
From MR. Vincent Price,
E-mail:
Bank of Scotland Mauritius.



PRIVATE AND URGENT.
Please do not be offended if I have invaded your privacy. I am MR. Vincent Price, and I am contacting you on business transfer of a huge sum of money from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction and you dont have to worry of spending any funds of your own as we have saved for this and we are sure we can do this with out your spending any funds at your end.

PROPOSITION.
I am the account officer to Mr. Selah Adams (deceased) one of our foreign customers. While he banked with us, I oversaw his accounts and other official/financial obligations as my office demanded being his accounts officer. Unfortunately, he died along with his entire family in the plane crash of 31 October, 1999 on board the Egyptian Airline 990 alongside other passengers. Please consult the Cable News Network(CNN) website below for verification.

http://www.cnn.com/US/9911/02/egypta...ist/index.html

While he was alive, none of his family members was ever known to me other than his immediate nuclear family. Since his death, none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims to this money as the heir. I cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.

Having made a very franatic and exhaustive search for any family member that would lay claim to this fund, I decided to take my chance with you. I now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin to the deceased as I have all documentations including his certified Death Certificate that will facilitate your stand as next of kin to him as he had a closing balance of 5,500,000.00lbs (five million, five hundred thousand pounds sterling) here in our Bank of Scotland Mauritius Branch. I also have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any member of deceased family to become beneficiary of this fund.

Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavour by furnishing me with the following to my PRIVATE E-mail:

1. Beneficiary name and address
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers

These requirements will enable me make some internalre-adjustments and file your name in form A2ag and other vital forms as next of kin which before now was left blank by the deceased upon opening of the account six years ago. Upon your reply, I will advice the way forward. I must assure you that if you are serious and follow my lead religiously, then this funds will be released to you within a seven-working-day period.

If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you, you can lean abount Mauritius by clicking the link bellow, http://s2.emedia.com.my/Misc/Mauritius/about_html

I await your urgent mail.
Regards,
Mr. V. Price.

Those more astute members will know that Vincent Price, the actor, died in 1993. Writes well for a 12 year old corpse huh?

[schmunk]

[RVF500]

Yup, it prooved that as long as the first and last letter of each word was correct, it didn't matter about the order of the other letters, you could still make out what the words were without having to think about them.
