A little too perfect

I received an e-mail from my dad yesterday entitled "IMPORTANT DOCUMENT" and it basically said that he tried to send me a document that he would like me to read but it would not deliver through e-mail so he used "secure Google docs" to upload the document and to click the link in the e-mail to view it. The grammar and spelling was perfect, signed-off with his full name, and even hovering over the link seemed to show a valid url (something like apifocus.com). The thing is, anyone who knows my dad knows his grammar and spelling is atrocious. Called up dad and sure enough, he didn't send it. Them scammers will never learn. :laugh:

I have bin getting emails from supposed relatives of the missing Malaysian airplane, they have inherited a large fortune and for some reason they want to share with me. I just need to provide them with my banking details.
Seems legit. If you can't trust the fictitious relatives of the victims of a tragic disaster, who can you trust?

I guess that's proof that evolution is real. We're all in trouble now when spammers can actually spell and type propers grammer. :laugh:

Yeah, the irony was not lost on me. However a link in an e-mail should still be a red flag. I did Google the url and it appeared to be some company in Thailand. I thought that was a little weird too...

I am not sure anyone can inherit anything just yet from the victims of the missing Malaysian airplane. I don't think they are legally dead yet.

So I'll have to sue them for being illegally dead to get any money out of them? :confused:
