Psycho account phish ...

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rmslade () shaw ca>]

Got a fairly standard (but targetted rather specfically) email account phishing 
message this morning.  But this caught my eye:

------- Forwarded message follows -------
[...]
This message was sent automatically by a program on Webmail which
periodically checks the size of inboxes, where new messages are
received. The program is run weekly to ensure no one's inbox grows
too large. 
[...]
You will continue to receive this warning message periodically,
If your inbox size grows to 20 MB, then a program on Bates Webmail
will move your oldest email to a folder in your home directory to
ensure that you will continue to be able to receive in coming email.
[...]
------- End of forwarded message -------

Yeah, it would be Bates Webmail.  Stay out of the email shower ...

(How do you represent screeching violins in plain text email?

A lack of planning on your part does not necessarily constitute
              an emergency on my part.
