    Default The Most Stupid spam or scam you have received

    I probably like most of you receive about 4 or 5 spams or scams a day, however I received one today, which I thought I would share:

    Hi Dear Friend,
    As I was searching for a good, reliable and reputable someone to do business with, I happened to come across your profile where you registered as member in a website. After going through your details I decide to contact you on a business proposal.
    I am from United Kingdom and my name is Mr Ken Bright. I would like to know if we can be able to work together as a team. I am contacting you because i would like to invest in your country because of my plan to change Location. I guess you can be able to make a good research on a good and a movable business to be invested in. I would like to get your response first before revealing my actual budget to be used for the investment but your estimate on any investment should not exceed Three Million Great Britian Pounds. Please try to email me as soon as possible to let me know what you can be able to do. Thank you so much for your co-operation.

    Yours Truly,

    Mr. Ken Bright
    91 Rayleigh Rd, Royal Victoria Docks,
    London,United Kingdom.
    Tel: +447031849579.

    The funny thing is, this Ken Bright chap was involved in the nigerian lottery scam, so may be he has moved his money to London, and now wants to get it out.
    Do you think Mr Ken Bright is really from the UK, and do you think he really is that Bright.

    Add your scam or spams

    Our insurance department immediately took the rodent to the vetenary surgeon for inspection to ascertain the cause of death, which it transpired was a case of stuffmefatgutzwivwud, which in laymen's terms means it was poisoned by ingesting too much of the wood from the carving, which also contained various trace chemicals, which encouraged the death even more.
    Is that disease contagious?
