Yesterday, perusing my Spam Bin (I do this in case some important stuff goes the wrong way, doing this actually resulted in my present employment, so I do it regularly) I noticed a "letter from the FBI" warning me of fraud, outlining the methods used by certain nationals of the Dark Continent. Not remarkable in itself I thought, until I scrolled down and saw that it beseeched me to supply my contact details, age, nationality and everything else (short of bank account number and password) previously outlined in the letter, for security reasons.
My thoughts on this (not the cartoon)? Witty, audacious, surprisingly original and bloody funny actually. My second thoughts on this? I wonder how many people actually think that they could have possibly won a lottery that they never bought a ticket for or inherited money from an unknown relative, (or basically come into a windfall with no provenance and even implied illegal activity)
