The Nigerian Scam Moves On.

I receive today two copies of the same email, an obvious addition to the Nigerian 419 list:

Firstly, not to cause you embarrassment, I am Mr.Henrik Greaney, a Solicitor at law based in the United Kingdom and the personal attorney to late Mr. Michael Pierre a National
of France, who used to be a private contractor with Halliburtin in Saudi Arabia,

Interesting really as this guy has, in his very first line, committed a crime. Stating that you are a solicitor when you are not is indeed a crime. Anyone got the Law Society Yearbook handy to see if Mr. Greaney is in fact listed?
Um, Halliburtin? Good grief, even the no brains at Democratic Underground know how to spell Dick Cheney’s old employers.
Obviously my spam filters are as insufficient as this particular fraudster’s spell checker.

    It pains me to realize that there are enough stupid people in the world to make such a pitifully designed scam profitable.
