So Stupid

I know that it's wrong to laugh at the ignorant (when has that ever stopped me before?). But this is the closing line in an email I got from someone who needs me to most urgently log in to my account via a URL they provided in their email.

*Important*
Please update your records on or before 48 hours, a failure to update your records will result in a temporal hold on your funds.
Yes, I am on my way over to log in now, since having a 'temporal hold' on my funds will be such a bummer that I'll just have to head upstairs and finish off that bottle of Darvocet with some Glenfiddich.

Amazing. As mean as it is to say this, I am just waiting for the next round of emails from the Nigerian scammers who lost incredibly wealthy relatives in that plane crash the other day. I feel sure that most everyone onboard from the guy in row one to the last row was probably worth no less than 15 million dollars.

Just send me your bank account information, and I'll tell you how I know... :-)

Temporal hold?
Better trace that IP address, Probably from Gallifrey. 419s from Time Lords:"After the Time War eradicated my species, my $51m were trapped in the 21st century earth..."

LOL! beaten to the punch!

there is definitely an interesting SciFi angle here.

do you think they meant "please update your records 48 hours ago"?

OT, but what do vets (and active troops) think about the Iraqi PM ordering US troops to stop with the roadblocks that are part of the search effort for one of our troops?

Bush seems to be okay with it, not even pounding on the bully pulpit and demanding "either Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead", as a president with some actual stones 102 years ago said.
