SPAM so stupid it's funny

......and they are shouting at you the entire time 

That's ridiculous. I wonder how many would actually fall for something like that.

....and the English is appalling.

Unbelievable!

Aaaah... professors don't use comma's.

This is quite funny, probably the funniest spam message I've seen. I doubt that anybody would fall for that, it's more than stupid.

I just had to share my most recent SPAM email with you guys and ask you if I am dead or not?

Now, suppose I am dead and don't answer this email, will the thwarted Mr. Paul Miller be put out or what, when he can't get the money transfered to his account.  And ain't it awful nice of Mr. Mark Morris to be so concerned that someone else might be trying to rip me off?

OMG    That's downright scary! 

I received such emails too, not exactly from Mr. Morris but I guess they change the names now and again

Very spooky indeed.

I guess they are hoping you will mail them back and tell them your correct bank details.

it's just so weird. Makes you wonder who is the mastermind behind these kind of emails.

I should have emailed them back and told them I am actually dead and to give my uncle the money as described in the email... and that they should stop emailing me since I am now on the "other side."
