Spam this e-mail address

Hopefully db won’t mind me using his blog for a little evil – I’m doing the same on my site too…

I admit it – I actually read the phishing e-mails, some more closely than others.  Not because I believe that the Crown Prince of Nigeria wants to give me any money or that I’ve inherited money from an unknown relative in Tiawan or anything.  It’s just that some of these e-mails are so pathetic that it’s kind of amusing.

The latest one to get my attention:

What I really like is the e-mail address it came from – this guy is so lazy he can’t even be bothered to send from an e-mail address that might almost be remotely credible… Instead he just uses what is quite probably his own student e-mail account from his school in thTiawan…  So here it is for every e-mail spambot on the interwebs – chenjb@mail.stut.edu.tw  SPAMBOTS ATTACK!!!!!
