A Bigger Phish

Friends, you’re gonna love this one. Here’s an update on “Phish for a Day“:

Our friend “Pete” sent an email to the purported lawyer for the Phisherman “Lawrence Tucker”.

Mr. Daniels,I spoke with a Lawrence Tucker who said you would be able to verify who he is. He also said that there was a large amount of money I can help him with. Can you verify who he is?

Thank you, Pete

Peter Smith

Not long after, the “lawyer” replies:

I know I’d give this guy my bank account information in a heartbeat. Wouldn’t you? Amazingly, this guy Tunde Daniels has helped other innocent Americans launder millions of unclaimed dollars: www.internet-fraud.com

Somebody needs to teach these guys about decent forgeries.
