Government support
Regarding SPAM I thought nothing could really surprise me anymore. According to our filter statistics it blocks about 100 messages a day for me. But yesterday one slipped through from the European Commission.
We bring to your notice the decision by the board of trustees of The European Union to choose you as one of the final recipients of a cash grant/donation for your own personal, educational, and business development (SME funding).
What strikes me is that spammers think people will believe the fact that:
To promote growth and creating new jobs in the European economy, we are giving out a yearly donation of £402,000.00 (four hundred and two thousand pounds) to 10 lucky recipients who have been selected from over 25,000 websites all over the globe, as funding/aid from the European Union, European Commission, and the United Nations in accordance with enabling acts of Parliament.
The weird thing is that probably some people will say: "Hey I have seen stranger things from the European Commission".. So how does this look on the European Commission?
Anyway with the current credit crisis, we need all the government spending we can get according to the Economist. So show me the money :-)
