Phishing

I guess they think I'm stupid,
Forward scammers' emails to the
government or other groups
that monitor phishing.
that I'll sign on to an account
when they have misspelled words
and botched the logo. So I just plain
forgot I had an order coming
that is overdue from FedEx, but
if I'll verify the payment, I can
fetch it? My favorite ones come 
from scammers overseas, 
who pose as royalty in
Kenya or some friend who's
lost her luggage in Great Britain.
Someone over there with too
much time upon their hands. 
Sadly, subterfuge and phishing
must work now and then or
they would find another hobby,
more honest but less lucrative.
