Speaking of boggling the mind...
but in a way other than zakatekaluka's thread.
We all receive spam email. I got this one today (a bit surprised it got past the filter into my inbox) and reading through it all I can think is that the people who fall for this and respond are either illiterate -- or English is not their first language (clearly the case for the writer of this phishing attempt). Either way it's mind-boggling that these scams still work. Of course my favorite part of this one is that they reference all the fraud that is going on with "secret shopping"...is the hope that by drawing attention to fraud it will make recipients more likely to fall for fraud? Anyway... Quote:

Simple logic, actually.
Sender knows 99.99% of the people out there aren't stupid enough to reply. Sender also knows that the 0.01% who are stupid enough to fall for it are far more likely to be stupid enough to hand over the info they need to steal from them.
