We all get them. Emails of all sorts asking us to take their money out of Nigeria, update our billing information and in the case of this morning's email, provide information to "unlock my account."
Most of the time I'll delete these emails and move on, but every once in awhile, I'm curious to see how they went about setting up their scam.
Some setups are pretty clever, but I can't say the same for this morning's phish attempt.
Here's the email:

LOL! Well, hello user # 44215172 at [CENSORED].com.
I see what you did there (formMail.jsp aka a form emailer script)
These guys are not even trying.

Yes. This is much better.
Now, I don't recommend revenge.
However, if you do fall victim to your inner desires, please respect the companies that are being exploited by these 14 year old script kiddies and mind your connection limits.
You just want to flood the kid's hotmail account with a few thousand emails and not bring down any ligitimate services in the process.
Yea ok, that was wrong, but it felt so good! :-)
