Received yet another scam message today. Actually, I searched the forum and found an old topic with a similar message from this "Dr. Paul Okri", but it's old and the sender's address is different, so I decided not to post in it, but rather start a new one. Here's the email itself, of course with stupid content and bad English (I particularly liked the expression "information BELLOW"
), also it's using a trick of pretending that someone else wants to claim my money. Really stupid and boring. Even in the subject line there's a spelling mistake: AWAITS YOUR RESPONCE ! UNITED NATIONS ORGANISATION?? They want us to believe that the UN is unable to find an employee who knows how to spell
.
And here's the header:
