How not to phish

[LifeinAsia]

Note to scammers- when sending phishing e-mails to U.S. customers while pretending to be a U.S. company, you probably shouldn't use British spelling.

Changing your spell-check dictionary is difficult. You really should be more accepting.

If your target audience is people who don't notice spelling-and-grammar errors, willl it really matter? :)

Only the best class of scammer uses proper British spelling.
Pardon me, could you pass the Grey Poupon?

It belatedly occurred to me that British spelling isn’t limited to the UK. It is also used in India, where all the best spammer phone banks operate. Aha!

Exactly! So if you (scammers, not you personally) are going to target us lower class Amurican rednecks, don't use that upper class spelling, 'cause we don't spell so gud. :)

Going the other way, when spamming my .co.uk address do not threaten me with the IRS!

Hello,

Phishing is not a matter of quality, but a matter of quantities.
