Gary Host
by subacati
For those of you that don't know, 'Gary Host' is a traditional hacker's name. Some systems automatically create user names from a person's registered name. On such systems, 'Gary Host' generates the username, 'ghost'
This spam email was sent to me by one such 'ghost' 🙄 .
Of course, money is seldom sent in cash these days and 'secure boxes' where the contents are not marked as cash would not be covered by insurance! 🙄 .
Not to mention that sending cash across borders is generally illegal except in cases where there is a legitimate reason. (such as banks needing cash for holiday makers about to take a trip)
Strange how he could verify my 'inheritance' but he doesn't even have my name yet dontcha think? :p

Considering you're a spam magnet I can only expect that maybe one day you're going to tell us a story like this http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/2/93a47a62-daf0-11e1-8074-00144feab49a.html#axzz23ALTkgrk

I believe it's like that here too… Too bad, it would be great story to tell… And great money to play with 🙂
Are Sally Hit and Charles Rap also hacker names :confused:
Probably! 😆
