we get mail

A couple of persistent and annoying bits of spam I have been seeing lately: does anyone really think the US Treasury is going to send you email about a $63 refund? Since a. they have my postal address (as well as a lot of other information about me) but b. they don’t have an email address for me, this seems like it would never work. Which tell me someone is making out like a bandit.

Fraud-1

And then we have this, which appears to be legitimate — the headers look right and the links go to where they should — but no less annoying. Does Blockbuster really think I will sign up for their service if they send spam emails to “Mary?”

Life’s little annoyances.
