Got this phishing email just a little while ago:
Looks real official and every one of the links goes to Hallmark's actual website except for one...the "to see it click here" which has an "exe" type file name that I'm sure wants to eat your hard drive or something. I'm far from the first to notice this. There were several photos like this in Google Images. Bastids.

... other hint is the misspelling of "received" twice ...
I could easily have been caught if I wasn't lucky enough to have no one would send me a card!

not exactly phishing... but here's another scam I received just this week which is reaching talent on Starsnsites and Voice Over Directory:
| Quote: | Am interested in your voice and artistical skills,so i intend to employ you for the recording of my Clients script which would be forwarded to you as soon as possible (asap).
Secondly,i acquire your contact info/email address from the www.starsnsites.com today,so i decided to contact directly through my email, the voice have to be straight and cool. So kindly contact me back if you are willing to record for me,my range is between $2,000USD or 1,000GBP respectively...Thanks for your warm message and thanks for your prompt response, Firstly i would like to know your personal info such as (age e.t.c) in case i need to know you in person...,
The Language has to be Fluent English and you must convincingly follow a script without sounding like you're following a script.
I'm looking for an approachable relaxed sounding voice, not sugary sweet, exaggerated or slutty, and finally payment can be made in advance via Bank Transfer in any currency of your choice payable to you or any addressy from you..

Dang, I was gonna send back my slutty demo!

Hi gang!
Be careful of those letters. There's a virus going around (our IT guy has checked it out and says this is true), that puts in your in box an email saying you've received a Hallmark Card, or you've received a postcard. It's very bad news. Don't open anything that comes to you addressed as such.
cheers....

The thought of a Bobbin slutty demo made me giggle.

Although it made me giggle, maybe we've stumbled on a new demo style!! '-)
Thanks Bobbin. Very funny.

fun, fun, one of the folks at work got bit by one of these today.
Not too nasty, but the wrapper for the payload (it was a trojan) was one of the nicest written pieces I'd seen in a while.
It's good to see people taking pride in their work

I was checking out my demos at V123 yesterday (I've filled all ten slots) and the site still complained to me that I was missing several possible categories, including "Adult". I guess I gotta go slap me together my own slutty demo.
Let's see, for a slate, "Hello there.....this is....mmmmmmm.....your Bruce man....put me between your ears and let's see what we can make happen....."
