The Most Hilariously Inept Phishing Attempt I Have Ever Received.

Seriously. You have got to see this shit. I have changed absolutely nothing except for stripping out a live bullshit link and inserting linebreaks so you don’t have to scroll sideways. (And no, the missing spaces are not because I’m a dumbass and didn’t insert linebreaks correctly. They were already missing.)

Let’s parse.

1. Remember not to provide the sender personal information, which of course is the entire purpose of this phishing attempt. That’s like a panhandler walking up to you with his hand out and saying “Don’t give beggars money, and can I have a quarter?”

2. They’re deleting e-mail accounts. Webmail accounts. At multiple service providers, because you know that someone just has to delete all those old AOL accounts to make room for new Verizon accounts. That’s how businesses operate, right?

3. All your importants should be verify also. All your importants. All your importants. All your importants should be verify also. You have no chance to survive, make your time.

4. Your e-mail will not be equipped with the latest anti-virus system in their newsservers, guys! Well, shit, man. How am I supposed to get all my USENET emails now?

5. Failure to comply will make my PC vulnerable to attacks from the internet, even though if I don’t comply, I won’t be able to get my e-mail, which means my PC won’t download any of the no-longer virus-ridden e-mail, which means… uhh, how will my PC get infected now, exactly? Wouldn’t my inability to access my e-mail actually protect my PC from any possible infection that these cumfarts would have anything to do with? GOD I’M SO CONFUSED.

Seriously, man. You’d have to be a complete fucking dipshit to fall for this one, which come to think of it means these cockbags are probably already reading granny’s emails and whacking off to pictures of your sister. Anyone who actually falls for this phish should be immediately turned into tasty protein cakes.
