Spam email and the Microsoft Lottery

If you're like us you're probably seeing a tremendous uptick in spam email the last 2 weeks with items that come in with pdf attachments or others sending me a greeting card with a greeting that only a pervert would enjoy. Let's hope that the IMF filter update for Exchange will knock out some of those in the next week or so. At any rate I rather enjoyed seeing this one show up in the junk email box today. Gave me a laugh that I've won the Microsoft lottery! Maybe I'll show up at the Microsoft Partner Conference this week and demand a check. And who the heck is Dr. Smith?

CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE WON THE MICROSOFT EMAIL LOTTERY.

CHECK ATTACHED MAIL AND VIEW THE PROCEDURES ON HOW TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE.

YOURS SINCERELY,

DR SMITH.
