OT--Anyone else received this spam-scam?
I think the worst part about spam in my inbox is that virtually all of it is
boring, repetitive and completely lame. I mean, does anyone *really* fall for that "I'm an important person from Nigeria and need your help to smuggle money out of the country" crap that keeps showing up? But today's contribution is a (small) step above most others: it actually *almost* looks legit if one isn't paying attention. Of course, the fact that I got three copies in a row kinda indicated "scam" :-) So here it is--the latest (for me) spam-scam: "User just send $974.50 USD with E-mail to you: SwiftPay User-ID: (MHT Warehouse) Transaction#: 0053148 Date: 21-07-2003 Comments: We are refunding your money with swiftpay because our merchant is currently off-line, please excuse us for the delay If you are not registred with SwiftPay.com please follow the link bellow: http://www.swiftspay.com/signup/index.php Once you register, the money will appear in your SwiftPay's account balance in your overview page.

SwiftPay`s intuitive interface makes sending and receiving money over the web as easy as one two three.
