Lamest...phishing attempt...EVER.

Dude, if you're going to try and steal my information through Amazon, it might behoove you to change the delivery dates on this stuff I supposedly ordered from February 2007 to something a little more...current?

And if the subject line actually had anything to do with the actual email, that'd be just peachy. It's like they just threw everything on there they possibly could:

FIP NOTICE: Amazon Online Confirmation - User Agreement - Abusing Amazon

So, which is it? Am I ordering stuff, or getting kicked off for abusing the service? Make up your mind! According to the body of the email, I was ordering stuff...which should have been delivered eight months ago.

Oh, and if it wasn't addressed to eight other people besides me, that'd increase the verisimilitude of the notice as well. I highly doubt that Amazon sends out mass emails, even if people do happen to order the exact same widgets at the exact same time.

I also have my doubts that Amazon uses MSN as their mail server.

In other words:

YOU FAIL. And have just opened yourself up for mockitude on LiveJournal. Here's your fifteen minutes.

I just finished naominovik's latest Temeraire book, Empire of Ivory. And all I have to say is AUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHH. That is not an ending, people. That is an unfair cliffhanger of monstrous proportions.

I hate spammers, phishers, and pornographers. There has to be a special place in hell...

Do you recommend the book series?

I totally recommend the book series. I have them all, and I'm looking very much forward to the next one, which will be out in 2008.

The spam I get is so weird. Why do they think I want a fake designer watch? Or to enlarge a body part I don't have? Or a mortgage? Or any kind of pharmaceuticals whatsoever? And why do they think I'd go through them to get them if I did want such things? It's strange.

That's a new one. I once got one about my checking account was going to be closed if I didn't do something about it. I get things for Paypal sometimes too. Not an Amazon one. I'm sure that I'm next on their list. Damn spammers. I wish there was a way to click back to them with a virus or something to get them out of the way.

That would be a thing of beauty.
