Spam de la Semana

I would love to say that you have to be pretty stupid to fall for a trick like this, and maybe that's the case, but I'll have to admit that these transas por el Internet se ponen mejores y mejores cada día.

Sin embargo, it's still pretty obvious that there's a problem here…

Hello!
The courier company was not able to deliver your parcel by your address.
Cause: Error in shipping address.
You may pickup the parcel at our post office personaly!

Please attention!
The shipping label is attached to this e-mail. Please print this label to get this package at our post office.

Please do not reply to this e-mail, it is an unmonitored mailbox.

Thank you.
United Parcel Service of America.

Apart from the multiple spelling and grammatical errors, the use of "post office" to describe a UPS store and the United Parcel Service "of America" routine at the bottom of the e-mail, why in the devil would they send you a shipping label to print up if they don't have your correct address? The attached, zipped file is most likely a virus.

Dear Supporters of our common enterprise,

13 homeless children die every day in the US, thousands are left behind on the beaches, under the bridges and some are lost in a world that is out of reach…drugs, alcohol and survival sex.

President Obama once said "This victory alone is not the change we seek —it is only the chance for us to make that change." So, we are trying to walk the walk and we need your help. This project is not an organizing for America project. However its cause and goal is 100% aligned with President Obama’s message throughout the campaign and his call for action to help our communities. 

Please consider joining with us in efforts to raise awareness within our community. We can bring change, one community at a time, one child at a time.
