Current events

If nothing else, 419 scammers are up on their current events. Within a day of the news, I was offered a share of “a large amount of funds” stranded in Russia by the conviction of “Boris Mikhail Khodorkovsky(sic).

Timely as the swindle might be, they aren’t quite pitch-perfect; no Russian male has “Mikhail” as a middle name. (Nor have any of the news reports been using this new “Boris” name of his.) If I was bored, I might write back to this supposed “personal assistant” to ask: “How long have you been misspelling your boss’s name?”
