My Fdeeral tax payment is invalid.

October 18th, 2010

The latest attempt of spam.

This came into my inbox today. Very authentic and genuine looking, apart from a few things:

  • Spelling “FDEERAL”, “Offciial”, “senidng” “ifnormation” ?
  • I am a citizen of the United Kingdom and my business interests do not scope beyond the UK currently which makes me wonder why on earth I would even be liable to fall for a tax failure.
  • Most importantly: Since when did the tax man -not- accept a payment, even if its not needed?

UK Grant Secrets

May 31st, 2010

I got this whilst viewing my gmail account.

Came in the form of a question asking if i still lived at my old address (obviously i dont). I poped the url into a new page ( it was a clean domain ).

Turns out its a UK Grant Finding software just need to fill in my details to get it.

Claims to be able to offer Federal Goverment funds to all eligible UK citizens, I know that there are talks of a refferendum on how our voting system works but when did we convert into a federal goverment?
