Hackers who don’t know math, it’s sad

I got a fake receipt in email today saying I ordered some expensive shoes from Zappos.com

At first I thought for a millisecond, ‘what the!’ then I noticed that it must be a phishing email to get me to go to a website. Sure enough if I mouseover a link it shows a URL for the phishing site. And the prices don’t even add up for the price of the stupid shoes!

You would think that some computer person devilish enough to be pulling that kind of crap can do some simple math so the invoice looks right.

They did get my shoe size right although I think there might be a difference between men’s and women’s sizes and I’ll probably need an extra-wide instead of medium.

    I think purple’s your color! Hope all is well in your world, Baron.

    Perhaps that hacker is an ex-journalist.
