I've had some claiming to be from financial institutions that don't exist, you'd have to be really stupid to fall for one of those.
I love scanning through my spam filter and having a good old chuckle at some of the subject lines. My favourite was "Give your shlong the attention it deserves". Had me in fits!
Unfortunately, I mainly get a lot of offers for fake Philippe Patek watches which aren't as amusing as they're not generally used for penis extensions as far as I'm aware, more as a symbol to demonstrate what a man hasn't got...

yeah - I sent it there straight away.
I get about 50 spam emails a day - seriously, I've tried everything to get rid of them. I just accept them now - penis enlargements, viagra, loose 50 stone in 3 days, 1p shares, "hi I'm lonely and would love to meet you", etc etc etc etc.
Never had a genuine bank details one though!
