Shooting Phish In a Barrel

God I wish this were about me shooting that hippie band while they're all crammed in a barrel (preferrably with a double barrel shotgun) . . . but alas, it is not the case. I just got a phisher e-mail from someone claiming to be PayPal. Thing is . . . they sent the e-mail to the wrong gmail account. The e-mail they sent the "verification" e-mail was the BAFW one instead of my main e-mail address. Idiots (I sure did repeat e-mail a lot in that last sentence . . . e-mail). Check out the message below in case you get one of these in the next few days.

Yeah right buddy. Next time you send a phisher, make sure you run a spell check, you dumb fucking idiot.

IH-diots! I personally might've fallen for something like that were it not for the egrigious spelling errors.
OH, and I've never heard any phish. Do they really suck that bad??
