The worse thing is genuine emails that look like scam emails, you'd thing companies would know better

Which all seem to have been sent from my computer....

Yeah, losers.

A better approach is like this - "There's a slow-acting poison coursing through your system, which only I have the antidote for. "

Watch Crank at the weekend did we?

I've just been invited to Dropbox but I'm already on Dropbox and the link goes to some dodgy IP without even a domain name.

Got one the other day claiming to be from the Co-op Bank, warning me about a problem with my Barclays Online account.

It's like they're not even trying

Spam / Fraud e-mails

Been getting a lot of the usual 'please update your security details' type of e-mail recently. My complaint is not that I get them, but the poor quality. I at least want some sort of challenge. Being told to download a form and complete it within 48 hrs or my bank account will be terminated just doesn't cut it.
