It just amazes me that spammers would send out stuff like this in emails and really expect people to click on their attachments and links. I just thought this was pretty funny and figured I'd share it for kicks and giggles.

The problem is, many people wouldn't read past the first sentence before clicking on a nice, big, prominently displayed link. Emails like that don't need to be 100% accurate -- or even readable -- to trick enough people.

But yeah, it's kind of sad, really.
