I just got this cute e-mail that I just had to share.

Dear_ Citibank_Online Cleint,

Thiss email_ was sent by the citibank servers to
veerify your_ EMAIL adrress.
You muust celmotpe this pocress by clicking on the_link
below and enttering in the little window_ your Citi-bank
Debit full card-nummber and pin that you use_ on_the Atm.
That_is done for Your potcretion -t- becouse some_of our
memmbers no lengor have acsces to their email adesdrses
and we must verify it.

To veerify your email adress and acccess _your Citi-Card
account, clik on_the link below.

Seriously, how dumb do they really think people are, not only is it insane to belive that people would send you their account and pin number, but hell I don’t even have a citibank account…

Oh well, I’m sure someone, somewhere is going to be dumb enough to reply.

Stupidity is great in these ones…

It’s fun to reply with something like:

Dear Citibank:
I was confused by your last message, it was unclear as to wether you were requesting information for just one of my Citi-bank cards, to confirm my usage of this e-mail, or if you were requesting the information off of all my citi-bank cards. I’d be more than happy to provide you with any information requested.
-DS

Then, if they reply, just keep luring them in with the promise of the next e-mail being the one where you give them the information, but always come up with a believable excuse as to why you can’t provide it. It’s a slow process, but it’s ultimately extremely rewarding. =P

I digress, green. By answering their message you are just showing them that your email account is active. They may even stop trying to scam you, but spammers will know about your account being active.

And only AOLers would fall for a trick written in AOLish.

Very stupid, apparently.

6

LOL! :stuck_out_tongue:

That’s just so stupid I think it ahs to be a parody of the scammails or something…
I mean, no one would fall for that.

7

i got lotsa these emails… they’re quite common

8

Funny, I got spam gaurd and those emails went away…

9

i’ll only say this: . . . . . .

10

Mmmm, chibi killstick. But anyway, I don’t even bother to open spam. I just pop 'em into the trash and empty it.

11

I never open such mails. They might have a virus.

12

Haha, oh man thats good, maybe you can try to sue the guys or something.

Eh, the threat is fairly low if you force your mail program to process everything as pure text, disabling any HTML. Besides, it’s worth a laugh.

I’m a dumb AOLer who don’t now how to disable html.:hahaha;

:mwahaha:

(you knew I would answer that, didn’t you?)

The more I hear about these things, the happier I am that my ISP activated a spamblocker without me knowing, that blocks all emails from RPGC itself. And I’m really happy they did, haven’t had a more than 5 spam mails get through it (all of which were, like, viruses, 3 of which were klez, which I didn’t open)

16

It’s not how dumb they think you are, it’s how dumb are they?

17

I run a HalfLife keygenarator and then copy the CDKey into those emails.

And drak, your avatar kicks major ass.

18

Drak… if your avvie had blonde hair she would look like my doctor.

19

They could at the very least spell checked the email. I feel like vomiting from just looking at it. Looking at it, not reading it.

And I don’t think spammers and scammers think the target is stupid, it is just that they compare them to themselves.

Wow, it even hurt my eyes to read that.
