The Joys of Spam…

…the junk e-mails, that is, not the culinary delight. Anyways, this is the content of the HTML file attached to an otherwise blank message (subject line = “Refinance calculator”) from a certain “David Amazing”:
“Thank you for your loan request, which we recieved yesterday. Still paying too much for your current mortgage?
Great News, your refinance application has been accepted!
Bad credit OK, We are ready to give you a $378,000 loan, after further review, our lenders have established the lowest monthly payments.
Please visit the confirmation link below and answer only a few questions.

Stop fighting for lenders let them fight for you! Make them work for your business by giving you the lowest rates around!”
A couple of things:
1) I love how I never even applied for any loans, but these geniuses claim to want to give me almost $400k, sight unseen. Awesome! I’m so taking it and running off to Mexico or somewhere else that thinks extradition is a dirty word. And yes, to all y’all sticklers out there: I know better, I’m just running their absurdity to it’s logical endpoint for the sake of a few laughs. They started it! 
2) “David Amazing” is an awesome name. For a superhero. Or at least a really cool dog or something.
3) One of Mr. Amazing’s superpowers is very obviously not perfect spelling. Or marginally decent grammatical construction, for that matter.
Well, I’m now sufficiently amused, at the expense of a spam-bot. Time to go be productive again.
