The current contender for dumbest spammer trick of the year is a message that I just received marked Warning - TSUNAMI, which continues:
Warning - TSUNAMI BULLETIN NUMBER 002 PACIFIC TSUNAMI WARNING CENTER/NOAA/NWS
ISSUED AT 2312Z 30 OCT 2006
THIS BULLETIN IS FOR ALL AREAS OF THE PACIFIC BASIN ...
and finishes with ALL DETAILS HERE followed by a link to an Australian website that sounds as if it could have something to do with tsunami warnings, but is actually a supplier of 'quality solid timber doors'.
I haven't named the site here, because I'm actually having difficulty believing that any business could be so stupid. I keep telling myself that this has to be a joe-job. But if it isn't, if the door company actually thought it would be a cute idea to try to sucker people into visiting their site by sending a fake tsunami warning, then perhaps a few thousand Thais, Indians and Indonesians need to stop by their place of business and explain in simple, easily understandable language why this kind of thing is NOT COOL.
