After reading the first one I only figured that they got the wrong barovelli, for no way could I pay the ransom. delete and move on. I had one or two of these sent to me last year.

My brother has been paid to off you after the job so no witnesses. Hope you live to collect! What, maybe 10 minutes? Reminds me of Tom Mabe (qv.)

Just yesterday I got a phishing scam for my Wells Fargo Banking Account. First Email was very close to official looking except for very minor punctuation spacing and some unusual syntax--but close enough. The email wanted me to confirm my account due to low activity or the account would be closed. Clicking on the link brought me to a page whose address was not wells fargo variation as had been the first email. Wells Fargo confirmed it was bogus and I forwarded the phishing email to their fraud division. I'm sure its from overseas but I was impressed with the first email. I can see newbies falling for it. Why they don't have their grammar exactly correct is beyond me. Almost makes me want to try it, except I wouldn't know what to do with the money?
