Ah, the unintentional hilarity of mis-spelt phishing emails. I'm trying to think of an appropriate response. Maybe 'Fork You'? ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: Your account has been forzen From: Support <iamazon@service.com> Date: Sat, November 28, 2015 9:24 am To: phiscock@ee.ryerson.ca -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Peter Hiscocks Syscomp Electronic Design Limited, Toronto http://www.syscompdesign.com USB Oscilloscope and Waveform Generator 647-839-0325

[It is probably best not to CC people on posts to the list: too much disclosure of their email addresses.] | Ah, the unintentional hilarity of mis-spelt phishing emails. Yeah. I got a phone call yesterday from "my oldest nephew". They hung up when I awkwardly asked "who?". Today I got one from "my grandson". They asked if I could hear them and I said "maybe". Then they hung up. Phishing apparently works.
I once had a phisher trying to get me to come to an industrial district at night to pick up my prize: I asked him to call me at my home number, not my work one, and gave him the number of the fraud squad. He called it! Phishing works, but what one catches can be A Bad Thing. --dave On 28/11/15 08:13 PM, D. Hugh Redelmeier wrote:
