Gone Phishin'
I've had an Important Message from my bank. Apparently Online Access To My Account Has Been Suspended and I need to update my personal records to regain access. How remiss of them to lose my account details in the first place, but how kind of them to use my blogger id to get in touch with me.1

Thank You.
Call me suspicious, but:
- It's not Lloyds TsB, it's Lloyds TSB
- I don't hold an account in the name of Mr Farty
- Come to think of it, I don't hold an account with Lloyds TSB
- The link claims to point to http://www.lloydstsb.com/ but by clicking on file/properties/details/message source, I see that it actually points at samsungseriez dot com
- I wasn't born yesterday
I work for a major financial institution, you notice little things like that.
1 Must stop copying BOSSY's style, it's giving me a headache.
Buy it! Now!

She was round pestering me t'otherday. Send her packing....Like your friends at LLLLLoyds TsB
We wouldn't mind the spam so much if we got the ones that are so bad they're laughable ("Tracy from Basildon would like to invite you..." etc), but all we get is offers of dodgy software.
Which we've already got!
(Of course, we paid for it, though *cough*)
Ha ha getting hit by them all then farty? Did you see my spam attack the other day. . .
Flick them the interactive fingers.
Farty, TSB (The Sperm Bank), wankers!
Christ, that sort of thing frightens me. If that arrived in my inbox I'm so dopey I'd probably do it. Good job there's no money in my bank account.
Manuel - I'm not in the habit of deleting comments - oops!
Mr. X - I can write my own dodgy software, thank you very much!
DQ - Ah, yes, I remember it well. 43 comments for one post, that's good, right?
John - I've just gone off the notion of making a withdrawl.
Cat - Consider this blog to be a public service...BWAHAHAHAHA!
If it happens again, I may have to switch on word verification - wonder if I can make it pick only rude words?
Speaking of rude words...
I've gotten a lovely few of these messages myself. I find them deliciously amusing. I go to the library, access my e-mail webclient and click on their link. Then I give them an entire trashload of ridiculous answers, including my password which is ALWAYS F**KYOUA55HOLE
Oh, and my address is ALWAYS 1060 W. Addison, Chicago, IL 60613
I don't take any credit for that, however. I stole it from the Blues Brothers movie.
Sew - Neat. I'd rather ignore them altogether, though.
There's a good website HERE that makes a full-time occupation out of scamming the scammers.
