The Funniest Spam I Received This Week

This delightful piece of spam somehow escaped my spam filter and ended up in my inbox. I usually just ignore things like this, that are obviously spam, but for some reason I read this one and couldn't help but laugh:

Dear Sir/Madam,

RBC Financial Group always looks forward for the high security of our clients. Some customers have been receiving an email claiming to be from RBC Financial Group advising them to follow a link to what appear to be a RBC Financial Group web site, where they are prompted to enter their personal Online Banking details. RBC Financial Group is in no way involved with this email and the web site does not belong to us.

RBC Financial Group is proud to announce about their new updated secure system. We updated our new SSL servers to give our customers a better, fast and secure online banking service.

Due to the recent update of the servers, you are requested to please update your account info at the following link.

The spammers have now taken to trashing spammers in their spam. And you just know some people get this email and thought, "Ya, it's about time the bank warned us about spammers trying to get us to go to false websites where they steal our banking info! Now I'm going to click on this link and type in all my banking info! That'll show you, spammers!"

For the record, that's not actually a link there... I took out the link and just made it blue & underlined... those spammers will be getting no link love from the likes of me!
