Scammers Are Getting Lazy

   This popped up in the "spam" filter in my work email box this morning. I've seen some pretty good scams, and some pretty poor ones. This ranks "high" among the "low" category. I mean really. Try better punctuation, better grammar, better spelling, not double underline (====), and make sure you get the information you want from your victim right. Primarily, "Your" Occupation, rather than "our Occupation", which is scammer. Also, you might want to include what country you supposedly represent.
   Sadly, there are people who will probably fall for it:
