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

An email supposedly from Yahoo telling me that I have violated a termination code (ID 504) (sounds somewhat impossible) and hence I need to upgrade my account.

If I open the attachment then somehow magically my account will be upgraded.

I don’t think so – this is just the usual scam.

The best thing is that the username of the message sender is tweety_divine.

How could you possibly take seriously an email from someone called tweety_divine?

And rather than just one message, the scammer has sent out huge numbers – we received more than twenty at the radio station.

They do have different usernames including ‘overexaggerating’ and ‘girdler’

Not to be taken seriously
