Dumb Spam 5

Got one of those annoying 419 scams. It begings like so:

>Dear Friend,
>
>First of all I want you to Know that this is not a scam mail.Because
>base on what is going on all over the internet world people find it
>very difficult to beleive thing like this any more.if you can
>garantee me from your side your trust and honestly i will be able to
>work with you.i will apprecaite if you can come down your self and
>see thing for your self before we proceed snd this will make thing
>clearer for you.

Interesting how they suddenly feel they have to explain that, to paraphrase a famous politician, they are not crooks. I guess this means that the normal 419 has become less effective. No real surprise, considering how they flood us with that garbage. But in a way this could be seen as a minor victory of sorts.
