Aretha Franklin!! Really?!
Feb 6th
Ok, Spam of the week … Maybe even spam of the year (though the year is still quite young, no matter how it actually feels).

That’s right, this spammer thinks I’m going to fall for a “personal loan” from Mr. Aretha Franklin.
I have no words for this level of ridiculousness.
Does Anyone Fall for This Stuff?

Well, at least he didn’t outright ask for my Social Security Number and Bank Account information. But I’m so glad the United Nations Organization has taken over the responsibility of getting me my millions of dollars, on $5,600 transfer through Western Union at a time.
Seriously, does anyone fall for this stuff? Really?
