pore spelin asid. it is called phishing because as soon as you open the email the computer on the other end has all the data it needs to spam you forever. The mis-spelled words help get the message through programs designed to block spam.

I love the spam I received which read:
"The contents of your computer were confiscated as an evidence, and you will be indicated. You get the charge in writing, in the next days. In the Reference code: #8055, are all files, that we found on your computer."
There was an attachment with "the files found on my computer" for me to click.
I really was shaking in my boots about being "indicated" since I had no idea what that would involve.
