I blogged the other day about how the phishers are out and we should beware.

Evidently they are also getting worse in some instances...worse in the wording, punctuation, etc.  I taught English way back in my early career and nothing turns me off more than an unprofessional letter.  When I read this one, I had to copy part of it for my Active Rain friends.

You would think they would want to write a little better so they can get a few more suckers.

Jeff, I guess they are in India and for people learning English, it was probably good!

James, I haven't received that one yet.  But I did get double of the one I just wrote about.
