I got spam! Another African bank looking to give me a huge sum of money for some inexplicable reason. But what I found hilarious about this particular attempt was the following:
Just thought I'd share - I found this hysterical!
Quote from: "Mr. David Allen Johnson"I was going through some business directories. I was divinely and spiritually motivated to pick your e-mail specially to champion this. The amount is large, accepted, but I have the feeling that you can conveniently handle it without any problem.Wow - so even the phishers are somehow functioning according to god's master plan? :lol: Why didn't he just say he had "faith" in me? Haha.

God wants him to scam you. How can you argue with logic like that? Lol...

Things like this are the main reason I dislike christianity. People preach they are the only moral things on the planet because they have GOD... and then they do SLD. I hate hypocrisy.

somewhat unrelated, but one of Mike Vick's first bullshit comments at his press conference a few days ago was how he "found Jesus" through his recent tribulations. I laughed for about 2 minutes when I heard that, then I felt a deep sadness for all the people that will identify with, and forgive, Vick simply for "finding Jesus".
What he neglected to mention, though, is that he meant he had found a new Guatemalan gardener named Jesus.

:lol:
I heard that too, donkeyhoty, and had pretty much the same reaction. My thoughts ran like: "Wow, what an idoit! Hahaha! -pause- On second thought, maybe that was a shrewd P.R. move -shook head- Sad"
shoruke - I can only assume that the phisher in question was hoping he'd play off of my weakness by invoking this spiritual mumbo-jumbo --- too bad he tried to phish an atheist, huh? Although, in all fairness, this was hardly the only thing wrong with this scam attempt.....

Yup... invoke the holy name of a deity and voila, you've got a great amount of company who will willingly help you! Why didn't WE think of that!?!
