Sorry, 'wham bam, thank scam' was the best I could come up with. It's getting close to pumpkin time but I wanted to bring your attention to this little gem before tomorrow, as I will be otherwise engaged for a wee while.
Whenever I get these demands for money, after a fictitious transgression, it still sends a sliver of subservience coursing through my veins.
After receiving punishments at school, it was customary to thank the deracinator of the flesh, a sign of respect no doubt and an opportunity to show the least amount of discomfort. Good times.
Anyway, today I was treated to the following, from the 'Home Office', no less.
In this instance, apart from the usual unbelievables, the sender's email address was the icing on the fraudulent cake. <customer@superdeal.ma>.
As I feel it is my duty to investigate the depths of these kinds of scams, taking adequate precautions, I opened door number two and was rewarded with this.
