Phish On - Why Banks Get Hammered
Mar 10 2006
It really upsets me with the amount of fake or “phishing” emails that hit the Inbox each and every day. From ebay account notifications, fake money offers, help me save X, and of course credit card and banking scams. My biggest problem with these is the fact that soooo many people click through and listen to these emails. Please, if you get an email call the group that is sending it first. Make sure that it is valid.

Here’s one I wrote that will make you laugh. Feel free to copy and send it back to phisher freaks.
Dear fool,
My mane is Taeka Yur Moola, I am a Nigerian bank manager who has recently stolen 500,000 zillion dollars from the bank I work for. I got your name from Bart Simpson, a close friend of yours who asked not to be named, because for some reason he didn’t need 90% of 500,000 zillion dollars, or no, he was too busy to send me his bank account info. Or no, he didn’t have a bank account. Yeah, he didn’t have a bank account, because he’s not a real person. Yeah, that’s it. Anyway, he said that you could help me get this gigantic pile of cash out of my house and into a bank account.
Actually, the money is still in the bank but I need your bank account info in order to wire the money to you. Yeah. And then that way you can send 10% of the money back to me, and say it was a birthday present or something. Of course I’ll have to open up another bank account in order for you to do that. And I will. But I can’t now, because, well, the money has to come from outside the country. Yeah, in order for it not to be intercepted by the KGB. Yeah, that’s it.
Actually, no. After you get the money I’ll flea the country and then I’ll open up a bank account in some other country. Yeah. And then, and then, I’ll ask you to courier the money to me. Yeah, that’s it!
Anyway, in order for me to give you 50% of 900,000 zillion dollars (I think that’s about that’s about 425,000 zillion dollars, give or take a few zillion) I need you to give me your bank account info, all your credit card numbers with expiry dates, your SIN number, ten signed blank cheques, and a signed but blank copy of your last will and testament.
Please send all this information to me at: fuck-off-an-die-dirt-bag@yahoo.com. Once received I will contact you with the information on what to do next.
Thanks a zillion!
Yours truly,
Taeka Yur Moola
Ps. please forward this letter to all your friends so they can cash in on this once in a lifetime opportunity too!!!
