My eyes! Argh! When will scammers learn how to write properly? In fact, I sometimes wonder if a well-written scam would do better than these clumsy attempts.

Well, these are al obviously non-English speakers. I've yet to even encounter a scam that's well-written.

The closest I ever got was a "Personal Assistant Needed," up until the guy was in Europe and needed packages delivered and picked up.

About one or two years ago, I got an email from Dell asking for my credit card information in order resolve some sort of "issue" with my order. Now I found this funny for a few reasons:

1) I have never purchased anything by Dell in my life
2) Back then Dell had a near zero presence in Portugal (they are finally starting to sell in mainstream stores but even so their presence is minuscule)
3) The email was in SPANISH (it claimed to be from Dell's Latin American division)
4) Said e-mail refered to me as "Pablo" (which isn't my name)

and the kicker:

4) Since then I have kept recieving emails from Latin American Dell...but regular ad emails. Which keep referring to me as Pablo. And the email adress is apparently legit. Meaning one of two things: either the guy who sent the original email somehow added me to the Dell mailing list in the vague hope that this (somehow) would cover his tracks or there are actual phishers undercover at Dell Latin America. I know both explanations are retarded, but how else can you explain this?
 
Could be that some guy named "Pablo" had his credit card stolen by someone that used it at dell, sent it to a fake addressed and registered it with your e-mail?
