e-mail me your banking numbers plz.
Today I got the most blatant phishing e-mail ever in my yahoo inbox. I gotta give these idiots some credit for being straightforward, but negative points for creativity. In fact, I even e-mailed them back, telling them to be more creative and informing them that I reported them to yahoo.
Here are some gems from the longest e-mail ever, letting me know that my prize! is overdue. Maybe it's a bowling alley!

Be informed that you are not allowed to correspond with any person or office anymore, You are required to send bellow information for your transfer.
1) YOUR FULL NAME:
2) ADDRESS,CITY,STATE AND COUNTRY.
3) PHONE,FAX AND MOBILE
4) COMPANY NAME(IF ANY) POSITION AND ADDRESS
5) BANK DETAILS,ACCOUNT NO,ROUTING NO,/SWIFT CODE AND BANK ADDRESS.
6) PROFESSION,AGE AND MARITAL STATUS
7) COPY OF YOUR INT'L PASSPORT/DRIVERS LICENSE
--------------------------
So basically, I've been informed that I am no longer allowed to correspond with ANYONE. I think I might abide. And they only ask for enough information to steal my entire identity.
I think I was more intrigued by the fools who claimed my family in South Africa came into an inheritance for which I was due (those people actually data-mined me and customized my scam e-mail with my own last name! My very Austrian/Hungarian last name and not-so-South African last name).
In other news (that I actually want to talk about in here) I came home to notice that some people are coming to check my goddamn fire alarms tomorrow. I don't need this crap 'cause I know the fucking thing works. I set it off w/ my clothing steamer the other night and couldn't figure out how to turn it off. It was deafening.
I need to go to sleep but I don't wanna. I'm a little stressed. I'll share the details later.
