I got an interesting piece of Nigerian 419 spam today. For those of you who don't know what Nigerian 419 spam is, this is the spam that you get asking for assistance to transfer a large sum of money out of some overseas company where you are promised a percentage of the money for helping - aka "Advance Fee Fraud".
This particular message was interesting because of the intro. I paste it verbatim below:
Hello,
I am Mrs. Annette E. Jenkins, I am a US citizen, 48 years Old. I reside in District of Columbia 20534. My residential address is as follows 320 First Street, NW Washington, District of Columbia 20534, United States, am thinking of moving since I am now wealthy.
I wondered what this particular address was. So I ran it through Google. Here's the search link.
Should be pretty obvious from the search what's located there.
You have to believe this is deliberate....
