Some of my favorite spam stories ...

(1) I tried to use my free walmart gift card (that was emailed to me) to purchase penis enlargement pills but they refuse to accept it.

(2) A prince in Ethiopia requires a US bank account to collect his inheritance. He reached out to me via email and I tried to help out but my request for his bank account numbers, contact information and $350 USD so I can create an account for him have gone unresponded to. I suspect the evil Ethiopian National Congress he alluded to is intercepting his email communications with me.

(3) This is my favorite email I have received in many years. I don't even know how it got to my inbox as it is addressed to robin1321993@hotmail.com from ann@aol.com (it says her name is 'u'). Anyway, even if I wanted to be duped by these guys they give me no instructions on how to do it ...

Since the Federal Bureau of Investigation is involved in this transaction, you have to be rest assured for this is 100% risk free it is our duty to protect the American Citizens. All I want you to do is to contact the ATM CARD CENTER via email for their requirements to proceed and procure your Approval Slip on your behalf which will cost you $110.00 only and note that your Approval Slip which contains details of the agent who will process your transaction.

I assume somewhere, there is a Russian businessman very upset that this recent email campaign has produced no tangible results. It appears this was a reverse spam operation.
