a question by Jun 30, 2011
Today I just happened to look into my spam box in my e-mail and was amused to see two rather inept scam attempts. One was an account offer from "The Royal Bank of Canda" and the other said I'd won the UK Federal Lottery. Obviously, the first email had a misspelling and the second one overlooked the fact that the UK isn't a federal government and doesn't therefore have a federal lottery. What's the dumbest spam you've ever gotten?

dumbest spam....well, one that says that they are the heir of 87 million dollars but they need my help to claim the amount. They want me to give them all my info and we can split the 87 million. With 87 million, I think that would be something that gets 'gifted' to an specific person. PLus, I wouldn't share at all LOL!!

Oh man, I got those so many times. And I always wondered, "why they want to share it with me?" You have to be a raving idiot to buy into any of that.

Sadly a lot of elderly people fall for that sort of thing on a regular basis.

Well the brain does go as you get older. Where did I put my socks?

Penguins don't wear socks.

See what I mean about the brain?

LMAO!

LOL! Yeah, I've gotten a number like that and I always chuckle because I am actually aware of who has money and my family and none of them would leave them to a distant relative they don't know.

heh, that's pretty funny. But lately ever since I came back to the site, I been getting messages from women who claim that they love my profile and we can have a great relationship, and love can reach across oceans, and we can spend eternity on the hot beach watching the sun set. Obviously, these love sick women have not noticed that I'm a penguin, and I do not like hot beaches. But like I said many times. Penguins Rock!

Hmmm....I get some like @ mentioned and I always laugh when they get raunchy and think I'm a guy. I've gotten the heir to millions one before too. I guess my dumbest one was when I was propositioned to go on a date with hot, single, rich guy JUST FOR ME but, I'd have to pay a fee. I'm pretty sure that's called prostitution, yes? And last time I checked I wasn't desperate for a date soooo.....I'll pass, thanks!

When an email pretended they were my sister in London and needed money wired to her. The trouble is it was my sister's email address. Apparently someone hacked it.
