Unfortunately, no.  I have a folder of them, and hundreds of messages in that folder.  But there is nothing new or refreshing any longer.  They are the same old tired attempts.  I wish someone would get more creative.  They might be worth reading then.

I think it is just as intriguing finding the people who actually believe these Phishes and fall for them!

"Ohh my god! An uncle of mine left me 5 million Yen?! Wow who even knew i had a Japanese Uncle? Ohh well, here is my banking information since apparently you can not just send a check to my address."

I would even settle for meeting and talking to an idiot who falls for a popup add while surfing the net that says
'CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have just won a new PLASMA TV! Click here to find out more=>'
"Oh my god! Honey get in here quick! We just won a brand new plasma tv and all I have to do is click this button!"

As an ordained minister, registered on several sites, I have received more than my share of "pleas" from churches in some of these same countries. It's nuts, I tells ya!

But they must be doing this Phishing based on past success or current success.
I want to know who these dumbasses are actually responding / clicking and therefor perpetuating the phishing?

I have heard a figure of 2500 people a year tossed about.  But only have heard of 2 people that have actually fallen for it.  One was a Legal Secretary in Michigan, and the other a Professor at Cal Irvine.  They got about half a mil from the first and up to 3 mil from the second.

The thing about it is, they don't have to have a high success rate to make money off of this. Most of these operations, from my understanding, operate outside of the US and are not subject to US laws. a $500 return is, for many of them, equivalent to a years' wages, if not several months' worth.

I'd be just as inclined to question who falls for Amway's scams every time they changed their name. If I were starting a scam operation, I'd start by looking up Amway agents, or cult members, or whatever you call them. There's a TRACK RECORD of gullibility there.
