Today's Stupid Email Trick: Ban Ki-Moon Just Gave Me $650,500 Cash!

All email users get ridiculous spam messages from time to time.  Hopefully our spam filters catch most of those messages.  But from time to time, some messages get through.  I just received this one . . . and I'm still laughing and the audacity of its author, "Mr.huffman" who sent me this message from [email protected].  Here is his message:

UNITED NATIONS TRUST FUND
England Department of Humanitarian Affairs

MALAYSIA CORRESPONDING OFFICE.

In one sense, I'm laughing.  I mean, I really had no idea that Geneva had magically moved from Switzerland to England.  In another sense, I'm angry at this clown for sullying the name of the United Nations in this scam email message.  Your thoughts, dear readers?
