How very spammy!

deannawolGot the following spam this morning and sat scratching my head for a while. Now we all get the 'I'm Mr. Whosit on behalf of Ms. Thingy and my client's whatsit just died and the government are trying to take away her money so I'm asking you if I can leave it resting in your account for a while' type of spam, but rewarding you for living in a rather large and defunct region seems a little like overkill. Of course, the head scratching bit is the 'the EEC contains countries from Africa, the Carribean and the Pacific'? Can't say I remember any of them in the EEC even when it was around... Unless they mean all those little places that are still technically Commonwealth or Colonies? Hmm...
Anyway, here is the spam
