Got a spam e-mail from someone claiming to be doing social work in North Korea and also claiming I had been in contact with them in the past. Then it closed with this disclaimer:
CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE – This e-mail transmission, and any documents, files or previous e-mail messages attached to it may contain information that is confidential or legally privileged. If you are not the intended recipient, or a person responsible for delivering it to the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that you must not read this transmission and that any disclosure, copying, printing, distribution or use of any of the information contained in or attached to this transmission is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. If you have received this transmission in error, please immediately notify the sender by telephone or return e-mail and delete the original transmission and its attachments without reading or saving in any manner. Thank you.
Please note:
1. This disclaimer comes at the END of the message, after I’ve already read it.
2. It tells me that if I am not the intended recipient, I am prohibited from reading it.
What does this tell you about the intelligence level of the average spammer? Genii?? I think not!
P. S. I plan to get to some serious blogging soon. I know it’s been a bit light lately.
