Bizarre spam from “Kofi Annan.”
I just got an e-mail inviting me to come to a UN AIDS conference. It was signed Kofi Annan, and while I was reflecting on how bizarre this piece of spam was, and why I would get spam from the UN, I noticed other things, like how my airplane ticket would be free, my visa would be free, and I’d be given free anti-retrovirus vaccines (?!?). Reading down, I found that the e-mail was written by a “Mr. Smith Roger.” I assume this spam is a bizarre way to phish people.
