Aside: Once again,
I'm ahead of
the curve.
So, continuing my recent spam theme: I got a 419 spam, about the only kind I see these days with greylisting on my personal account. Apparently Nigerian-scammers can't afford botnets. They're rare enough sometimes I read them, just to keep up on the state of that particular art.
This is a new variant: it claims to be from a banker telling me some guy is trying to divert "my" 7.4 million dollars into his Swiss bank account. But never fear, the intrepid banker has insisted that this guy prove his legitimacy by producing... a power of Anthony.
In order not pay your fund to the wrong person, because the above Thomas Mick??s have been insisting, we have started processing his application, why we request from him a power of Anthony authorizing him to pursue this payment on your behalf. We will effect the ( $7.4m USD )belonging to you to the above account immediately If he is able to come with the power of Anthony authorizing him as prove is from you.
Please forward to use your power of Anthony in return mail to effect the transfer of the fund to above account, Or provide to us an account where you want the money to be transferred to.
Yyyyyyeah.
