[TriLUG] OT: Clueless Phishing (humor)

[Scott Chilcote]

Hi Folks,

This attempt at phishing on my Yahoo email account gets my award for all

I'm having trouble believing it isn't a gag.  It looks identical in 
yahoo to how it copies here, including the wrapped URL.

Is there a charity for people who obviously aren't up to making a living 
at crime?
