What is going on with the spam asking you to go to a blog where “someone wrote something funny about you?”
Has this happened to anybody else?

LOL Spam Message?

It seems to be only millionaires dying off and handing out their money to strangers. You never see an email to say about giving someone £12.50 do you haha.
Compensation for a whole lot of USD, totally convincing...NOT!
Do you need a loan? Uh... nope and your poorly written email doesn't convince me to take out a loan from you.
A business offer from a "Dr" and again a large sum of money in a foreign currency.
This one even has a link to a story, to make it seem convincing.
Phishing Season.
As my title suggests, I have been receiving quite a few more phishing/ spam emails in the last fortnight than I have previously had. So I have chosen to share them with you.
Most people have common sense to know that if they receive emails like this, that they should ignore and delete, but there are some unfortunate people who just don't have that common sense.
Here are the ones I received recently, enjoy, but remember these belong in the spam folder.

I will give you the details after I have received your response signifying your interest in this project. In summary, the funds are still lying in the security deposit of an offshore bank in Europe.
