OK, this guy is actually presumably trying to get me to mail him some flatbed scanners in return for his stolen credit card number.
But when I first read this spam, I couldn’t help but think he was actually asking me to mail him a flatbed truck.
Larry’s presentation reminds me of HIRAM FROM PUERTO RICO, immortalised at the end of my first Dan’s Data letters column.
He's a reverend and a mr! Sounds doubly respectable. And he is up to date on his Capitalise Every Damn Word In Order To Sound Important But Make Your Email Unintelligible technique.
I thought it was a flatbed truck he was after too, as that was the first word my eye picked out of that mess of an email.

I especially like how he signed off at the end of the email:

So if you used Yahoo! would you not see any email from this guy?
