HEY PHISHERS, PHUCK OFF!!!

Over the last couple weeks, the amount of Phishing emails that I have recieved has been astoushing. It seems that the adapative filter on my Thunderbird isn't catching them all. I've been tempted to do a little 'research' and find the source of the emails, but I know it's a losing battle.. So Instead, i'll post some of them here. I hope by posting them, other email users will take the time be to google up strange looking emais, and find blogs like mine and that rally to expose the scams..

However if you are the rightful owner of the account, click on the link below and submit as we are trying to verify your account information. (In case you are not enrolled use your Social Security number as you User ID and the first six digits of your Social Security number as a password).
