My ‘friend’ Isreal Kone from Cote d’Ivoire inherited $3.5 Mllion Dollars which his “Late Father deposited in a safe keeping financial Institution in European bank”. If I would be so kind to help him transfer the money. You know the story right? This one however came in a nice disguise: a Dilbert private email. Including Dilbert cartoon!

Guess I wouldn’t mind receiving a few of those now and then. Can [email protected] and [email protected]$ spammers use South Park and Simpons cartoons? Might make spam fun again!
