I received another weird scam/fraudulent email that Spam Assassin didn’t remove. This email is funny and sad at the same time. It is funny because I was born and raised in Canada (and still live in Canada) and the email is about immigrating to Canada. It is sad because there are so many refugees who want to come to Canada and will far prey to this scam.
So, be warned, the following email is a scam and is not real.
