So, what’s the dumbest scam or spam on the Internet this week?

An email from mtspeed.com.br (Brazil) telling a story about an American Captain Jennifer Menard who wants me to look after two chests of valuables and I will be well rewarded for this.

I am to reply with the following information

1. My full name
2. My occupation and job title
3. My date of birth
4. My marital status
5. My nationality
6. My full contact addresses for home and business
7. My international passport number
8. My private telephone number and business number

That’s all – she only missed out asking for my blood group and a DNA sample.

it’s just a simple scam of course – anyone returning such information would find their identity stolen, money stolen and huge debts raised. I hope no-one has fallen for this scam.
