My Ship Has Come In…?

By sheer coincidence, it’s been a year since I made my long post on the spam I received over the preceding month. I’ve taken to ignoring 99.9999% of it, as is necessary these days. But now and again, one comes by that catches my eye for one reason or another. This morning, the following actually had me laughing out loud as I thought about the possibility of anyone responding to it… yet, the sad thing is, that there probably are people out there who will:

Now, hmmm… there’s a lovely Omni Hotel, the Mont-Royal, in Montreal… I wonder if I get to pick what job I want when I get there… oh, and to all those spam robots crawling this page out there, yes, feel free to send Rose your messages… Now, by the way, this is one of the spams that circulates regularly – it’s a phishing attempt, to gather e-mails, etc. (the IP address used to send the e-mail traces back, surprise, to the African Network Information Center – wanna bet that’s located in… hmmm… Nigeria perhaps – please, don’t respond to her e-mail at that address on your own, that’ll just get whatever e-mail address you use added to the spamming world.
