A Stupid Spam....

It is said so many time that if you are doing some scam, do it perfectly otherwise don't attempt to do so at all. I just received an email from "my bank" that just being a customer of them is the best that ever happened to them and to honor me, they are giving me some "gifts" (read below what). Whosoever sent it, he/she/whoever doesn't know what an official email look like and in this current slowdown of global economy , distributing apartment , "lots of cash prizes" will bring the bank on the verge to get shutdown only. But that's what spam is I guess, if spammers really do think, they won't send the spam mail in the first place isn't it.

Here is the exact mail that I have received.  I have removed my bank's name from it for the obvious reasons. Have a read,

Now, anyone one with the most tiniest brains even would know that if my bank had sent this mail, why on the earth , they would ask my account name, number and so on? And with a customer who has just 20k in his account, is it really worth to give away him a Toyota, apartment in a foreign land? Thank god they didn't mention that they have found a gal for my wedding.

This was what was sent to me. Now here comes the tech part. The mail was sent to me from some where in France and my bank has nothing to do with France. Also the reply destination of this mail is not my bank's domain but on some another domain. There are couple of things like that which I did find out and made me delete the mail next minute after I read it. The only thing which was bad is that it was actually a spam mail which means I am not going to get anything from above mentioned ;-).
