As reader’s here know, I use LOTS of email addresses. It’s especially comical when I get a “security notice” on one of these accounts. This one in particular is used for my fellow alums to report their upcoming alumni events. Naturally, I have an Outlook rule that takes mail from this mail account and, if it comes from an alumni’s email address, it is moved to an appropriate inbox. Everything left in that account’s inbox is suspect. Financial accounts have their own unique email accounts. SO, be definition, this trash is in the wrong place. I am immediately ‘on guard’! Add to the fact that I don’t have a Citibank account, and I am ready for a laugh. Now this idiot actually has a like to a German site. It’s a good think that they are stupid or someone might actually get fooled.

SPAM folder for this one, but it was good for a laugh and a blog.
