What I don't understand is why they don't get someone English to proof read that **** before they send it out.

This is why I have a gmail email address and never bother checking my spam box. I think maybe one or two of these emails have snuck through, but they were pretty obvious so I didn't fall for them. Plus I also have the Web of Trust extension for Chrome, and it keeps me from going to any web pages that are scary as well.

Yep, Gmail takes care of all your woes.

Hyolith, did you only start getting 'uberflooded' recently? If so, then a list, or ten, has your email address. It only gets worse from there ;)

I thought only the slowest of the slow, and the poorest of English speakers would even fall for this crap...

Then my RL friend fell for one. It was "well worded and looked legit," as he put it ... /headdesk

Same for me.
I don't even get emails from the real blizzard.
Maybe I should check it more than once a month...

Do not ignore this because it looks too weird to be readable. Believe it or not, you really can read it!

I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdgnieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer inwaht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas thought slpeling was ipmorantt!

I believe this quote shows why many fall for these scams as it is not just words we read like that but we correct badly written paragraphs if we only glance at them and Cambridge University has been studying the phenomenon for some years now .

Hehe just thought i would add my 2cents.

That's really funny, one of my professors (my adviser actually) starts every single one of her classes with that quote on an overhead projector. I'm taking a class with her this term, so I just read that again three days ago.

Your location, Raw, made me think of one of my favorite quotes:
J'ai trouvÃ© la couronne de France dans le caniveau et le ramassa.
You should have it sigged with your location there....
