Chinese Spam

[aruvqan]

Woot! Some enterprising scammer is hopping on the new Chinese commercialism and spammed me. It is a refreshing change from Nigerians!

Hello,

I am Mr.Siong Ng Thian. I represent Mr. Zhang Chunjiang, Vice Chairman and an executive director of China Mobile Limited, in Hong Kong. I have a very sensitive and confidential brief from this top (executive) to ask for your partnership in re-profiling funds over Twelve point Five Million United States dollars. I will give the details, but in summary, the funds are coming via Bank of East Asia Malaysia.

Please write me back via my private email: siongngthn099 AT gmail.com

It sounds legit, because legitimate business-men use a gmail account.

Usually in legit email the senders email matches the send to address.

But everything is spelled right, and it is reasonably grammatically correct.

I always thought that if you were going to try and scam someone you should try and spellcheck, and get the grammer right. It seems only polite =)
