I got this in my e-mail last weekend. While I have to assume that most internet users are savy enough to realize that this is utter bullshit, I am sure that there are some folks that will fall for it. Even though it has no logos or graphics, or even good grammer.
I am still waiting for the 3.5 million dollars from the Nigerian bank account that I sent my social security number to.......so I sort of doubt that 'Google' is telling the truth here. (my comments in blue)

Evidently, anyone that is actually fooled by this e-mail needs to have their internet access taken away.
Interesting. Maybe people who can barely manage to use crayons without stabbing themselves in the face would fall for this kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine recently got something very similar to one of those Nigerian schemes in his email, only it was a Middle Eastern name and asking for documents, not money.... a tad unsettling.
ReplyDeleteI have those type of emails. Everyday i stil receive those annoying Nigerian bank scam letters or where and how i can buy cheap Viagara.
ReplyDeleteSlyde's comment is too funny!!
