I get a lot of spam email, and I never understand why these idiots think that their schemes will work. Take this email I got this morning for instance:

Subject: Postal Tracking #HMPSH71337KU7MH
From: “United Parcel Service of America”
Date: Tue, April 14, 2009 9:25 am

Hello!

We were not able to deliver postal package you sent on the 14th of March in time
because the recipient?s address is not correct.
.
Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our office.

Your United Parcel Service of America

It had an included zip file, which I am sure was full of spyware or a virus or something. How stupid are these people that they think I would fall for this shit? I mean, I’m no rocket scientist, but I am pretty sure that if UPS wanted to get in touch with me, they wouldn’t use a hotmail email. I’m just saying.

Nice try though, asshole.
