Spammy McScammerton is busy. Notice the errors in the top paragraphs while the bottom half looks like it was directlt copy and pasted from an actual bank notice letter.

If those Nigerian lads would stop taking money out of my bank account, I would be able to save up enough to buy a nice antenna tower!

Ya ain't seen nuttin yet. I get bills for $2,000+ from Verizon Wireless and I don't have a cell phone, similar payment acknowledgements from companies I never heard from, Western Union wire transfers and even multiple notices of a complaint settlement from the BBB and I don't own a business. It's coming in so fast and furious the spam killer on my domain server can't keep up with it!
