Well, let's look at the inbox again, shall we? Today's installment of spam scams written in lousy English once again involves the FBI...
It has been discovered that your contract/inheritance/winning FUND was about being transferred to an unknown account under your name. This attempt was perpetrated by someone who claims to be working for you, and that you have given him due authority to have the FUND moved to the account specified below:
SOUTHWESTERN FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
WESCORP 924 OVERLAND COURT
SAN DIMAS, CA 91772. USA.
ACCOUNT NUMBER: xxxxxxxxx
ABA/ROUTING NUMBER: xxxx-41-21-9
SHARETYPE NO.: 25
FINAL CREDIT HABIB FENZI AND CO. (Beneficiary).
Sorry, but I haven't seen good ol' Habib in years and years...
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I.) waded in after being alerted by the supposed bank.
Waded in??? The FBI waded into an investigation like a timid 4-year-old approaches a pool? Yeah, right.

An era in television history has truly ended, with the passing of Ed McMahon early this morning. When Ed and Johnny Carson finished their run on the "Tonight Show", late-night television started a long slide downhill (although I'm still pretty fond of David Letterman's show).

First, the FBI wants to talk to me...

The University of Iowa seems determined to commit one of the most egregious misuses of public money in modern times. Think the great Alaska "Bridge to Nowhere" would have been a travesty? Read on... I'll admit right up front that I have a sentimental attachment to Hancher Auditorium. I spent four years there as a stagehand, I performed on that stage, and I have a lot of great memories in that building. My late brother Steve was also a Hancher stagehand. But as an adult, I have to look at things through the more practical eyes of a taxpayer, and the University's proposal to replace the Hancher and Art Building complexes just doesn't pass this taxpayer's "smell test". |
