So Much Spam Is Easy To Spot

Tweet

I just got a spam e-mail demanding that I revise my Paypal customer account. I could tell it was spam as Customer was spelt wrong. Paypal would not have been so amateurish. Spam might work if it was remotely credible. I get letters and e-mails telling me to urgently upgrade my bank account, from banks I don’t have accounts with. I don’t drive but spammers query my car insurance. Clearly they throw their junk in all directions hoping some of it takes root. They might as well invoice me for my hotel stay on Mars. If I get anything that looks like a genuine Paypal query I’ll check my Paypal account by going to it with a direct link, not through the e-mail I receive. I’m not taking any chances. I’m by no means totally impervious to being conned but most spammers don’t even try to make it challenging for me. Arthur Chappell
