3rd Annual Nigerian Email Conference

Nigeria is infamous for its email scams. The 3rd Annual Nigerian Email Conference makes light of that.

Or perhaps if I had attended, and learned that ALL UPPERCASE IS MORE EFFECTIVE, I WOULD HAVE SAID THE 3RD ANNUAL NIGERIAN EMAIL CONFERENNCE MAKES LIGHT OF THAT.

It begins:

"Write better emails. Make more moneys."

I am Mr. Laurent Mpeti Kabila, a senior assistant leader of the Revolutionary United Front of Sierra Leone.

I present to you an urgent and confidential request: I request your attendance at The 3rd Annual Nigerian EMail Conference. This is an excellent opportunity to meet your distinguished colleagues, learn new marketing techniques, and spend your hard-earned money. Attending this conference demands the highest trust, security and confidentiality between us.

Most Internet users have been targeted by criminal phishing emails, yet less than one third have any idea what phishing is, and only 3.5% have changed their habits due to the threat of phishing!

Risks include Identity Theft, Credit Card fraud, and more.
