Getting your spam crossed

Good day partner,

I am Andrew Bailey of International Private Banking at BANK OF ENGLAND. I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he placed under our banks management three years ago. [...]

This spam message apparently can't decide whether it's phish spam or advance fee fraud spam. Probably some spammer's mailer software got snarled up, but I like to imagine that the advance fee fraud gangs are now stealing compromised machines from the phish gangs.

These are my WanderingThoughts
