Sophisticated Scam Spam


I got this in my email a few weeks ago, saved it to write about, and completely forgot about it until today. It's an example of how sophisticated these scam spam emails have become.

This is the first one I've received that has a bank logo on it to make it look official. It comes from a Xiao Y. Fang from the Wing Lung Bank in Hong Kong, and tries to entice me to write back at his supplied "private" email address. He has a business proposal that could make me $16.5 million.

Of course, I didn't reply. But I'm probably one of millions that received this email. I'm curious how many people actually fell for this scam.

Not you, right?
