Cure for cancer – best spam ever

I accidentally read a spam. Partly because the subject line was so ludicrous as to br inviting. It was nothing compared to the contents:

Antidote found in Crocodiles

Hello,

We have an Alternative to DRUGS & ANTIBIOTICS. A Miracle Protein than can help people with serious diseases

‘THE ANTIDOTE’

Kills ALL known deadly Viruses & Bacteria in the body that keep diseases, namely: Influenza, SARS, Cancer, HIV etc.

A disease must be made DORMANT to stop infection.

‘The ANTIDOTE’ is the answer.

WE ARE THE ONLY COMPANY IN THE WORLD WHO HAVE DEVELOPED AND ENHANCED THIS PRODUCT FOR SALE.

The sad thing is that some dozy muppets somewhere will go off and buy this crap (probably sugar pills or something) thinking it’ll cure their cancer. I mean, think about it. If you ran a company that had discovered a cure for cancer, don’t you think you’d be world famous and not selling your product via email? Sometimes I think that people who buy stuff like this deserve all they get. There’s desparation and utter stupidity. They’re well into the second camp.

I agree. I heard somewhere that there are probably 5 times as many people who fall foul of the 409 (or is it 419) scams than the statistics show, because they feel too foolish to admit getting scammed.

Mosh

More like “aah – I should really update that page”

Not related to the post but I removed /Weblog from your URL and hit return.

Ah, nostalgia 🙂
