You all know the "Nigerian Prince down on his luck" scam, right? Soon followed by "dying old woman with lots of cash and no heir", "businessman needs a partner", "US Marine in Iraq needs to send cash home", "Director of the FBI knows you've been corresponding with phishers, but needs you to send him your information anyway", and "the same again, but it's a Nigerian lawyer/barrister".

Well, folks, I think we have a new champion. Meet "woman with darling puppies is to busy to take care of them and needs to find them a good home".


"Hello, My name is Sussan Mack,i have 2 puppies at hand and they need a proper good and caring home.My grand mother left them lonely after she past away last 3 weeks ago and nobody is able to take good care of them and they are cute to be leftout in the cold or winter that can cause any harm to them.Also dueto my work as a TV news correspondent, my job does not permit me to take proper care of these little puppies, I love to take care of them myself but due to the nature of my job i does hardly have time for myself, So i decide to look for someone, who is caring and lovinglyparent who will take good care of them and who will adopt them from me, If you are interested in having one of them, Please contact me as soon as possible (and be specified with the puppy you want English Bulldog or Tea Cup Yorkie ) and I will email you with the full details on how to go about adopting them. Do get back to me with your details below"


Really? She's a "TV News correspondent"? You'd think a job like that would pull down some nice figures, enough to hire a daytime dogsitter. Then again, you'd think one of the prerequisites for a job like that would be a master grasp of English grammar.

It's better than finding a penis enlarger email in your spam folder in your email at school while a bunch of girls are running around asking you for help.

I saw the thread title and thought "Wait, the band Phish is still around? I hated those guys, I'd love to spend some time bashing them" but then you went and posted something about a phishing scam. Ah well, maybe next time.

Heh, I was also preparing to launch in to a tirade about how much that band blows. :)

I don't think I've ever listened to any of their songs. Or the Grateful Dead or any of those guys. I collect Lava Lamps, though. The vintage one, manufactured in the 70's by Lava Lite (which is still around, actually), or even better, the ones made in the 60's in the UK under the name "Astro Lamp".
