Really crazy spam !

Below is the first part of an email that supposedly came from Earthlink. What kind of idiot made up this one? Why are they congratulating me if they are going to close my account? Of course I'm supposed to click on the link and give them all that info. :mrgreen:

Yes indeed, it's hard to run a good scam in the US without having an very an idormatic command of the US version of English.

I feel like they confused the tone when they said Congratulations and immediately followed up with, "your being deactivated".
Probably their first time.

I'd tell them to go ahead I didn't like the service anyway.

Check out some of these videos of people scamming the scammers. Very funny driving the bums nuts!
