Spam FAIL

In my work inbox this morning:

Email ID, Has Won You US$850,000.00

along with 2 copies of You HAVE awarded 750.000 (text of email: "Winner, You have to contact us Reards Hugo Pablo")

and the usual ad from a company in China trying to sell us compression springs--our site includes data on springs of the hydrologic kind, so these come in often. I'm on the webmaster email group, so I see 'em all. All that the USGS spam filters miss, that is.

Spam o' the Day

I email to know if you can make a specail order of powerplant for me ,If yes then i will like you to get back to me with the smallest sizes that are avilable with the prices range on them so that i will make my selection and get back to you with the quntity that i may need okay,

Regards


Can't tell what email address it was sent to, but I will guess the "water-use web" one, as that's where pages with the word powerplant would appear. I can't really see the point of the spam, though, unless it's just checking for live email addresses....
