So on the same day that I got a nicely comprehensive email from Monster.com warning about (& quite thoroughly detailing) the types of internet scams aimed at job seekers, my spam filter also caught this one, which purported to be a delivery failure notice for an email I ostensibly sent to these people. It included attachments for both the 'message' I sent & the 'order' I failed to place - and no, I didn't open them.
But here's the thing why I'm posting this here. The text of the scam email starts off with perfectly good tech-speak:
This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.
Delivery to the following recipients failed.but then in a window below it previews the message:
Forwarded Message: Order Information (Bull. #728
Order Information (Bull. #728
Hello, member!
We are glad to inform you, that constantly we work above
improvement of our site and we try to place various entertaining
and beautiful materials.
Now we have made the new design, new fast system of access to a content.
Our sites is updated daily by interesting, exclusive materials.As most of you know, I have taught English to non-native speakers from just about everywhere, and the badness of this bit seems to be pretty obviously (to me anyway) of a Slavic language origin. Almost as priceless as
English As She Is Spoke. And who in the world uses the leading parenthesis, then forgets – TWICE – to close it?
