Although I am kind of intrigued by what happened to missing item #2 …
I love how they always figure no one will notice the gmail/hotmail/whatever address.
Though to be fair, probably most people don’t.
Although, after the e-mail SNAFU at the White House, G-mail becomes less preposterous.
Nore telling at the exc;amation points in New!! York! and the fact that the contact at the FBI is a Sir Clarence Dexter Jr.
I’m unaware of the Nation’s Federal internal police force having ANY members who have been knighted by a foreign power. And I believe being granted a knighthood allows one to stop using the Jr. in one’s name since the Sir at the beginning is sufficient to differentiate the spawn from the progenitor.
I wish these spammers would learn a little basic etiquette . .sheesh! ;P
