This one is worth a mention only because it seems to have reached dozens of our staff (thanks for sending those my way! I love your SPAM!)

This screenshot came to me from Physical Therapist Rebecca Grimm:

It doesn’t appear that there’s any high-tech tomfoolery with this SPAM. It is classic “419” scam (so named after the Nigerian penal code for email fraud). Specifically this one is of the “Dying widow” variety. You can read about that one here: https://www.419scam.org/419-dying-widow-scam.htm.

Keep sending me your terrible emails! I especially appreciate both forwards and screenshots so that I see exactly what you see.
