Truth In Advertising....

Post by Lord Jim »

Okay, so I got another one of those Nigerian money laundering scam emails today....

Nothing particularly noteworthy about that; the usual stuff:
Dear Friend,

I Am Mr.Kelvin Dibie the director in Charge Of Auditing and Accounting Section of (Union Bank Of Nigeria Plc) with due respect and regard, I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will benefit the both of us at the end of the transaction. In order to transfer out the sum of (US$10 Million) Ten Million United State Dollars) from one of the leading banks in Nigeria Union Bank Of Nigeria Plc into a foreign account provided, I need a foreigner who is reliable and honest person who is capable and fit to receive this money through a bank to bank wire transfer. ...blah blah blah yada yada yada....
But the subject line was a bit unusual...

It read:

Spam:From the desk of Mr.Kelvin Dibie


How thoughtful of the gentleman to properly label his email for me....

Though:

Scam:From the desk of Mr.Kelvin Dibie

or

Bullshit:From the desk of Mr.Kelvin Dibie

Would have been even more accurate...

I suspect that is an email filter on your end that is set to identify and label spam.

I thought about that; I have another email host that regularly does that...

But this is a Yahoo account I've had for years, and I've never gotten an email labeled like this before with them. (and Lord knows I get enough spam)
