Pity they can’t spell Consortium. Their grammar needs some work. And shouldn’t their acronym be ‘ISPC’ not ‘ICS’?

I wonder when scammers will start to work on their spelling and grammar? Though, it must work for them to continue trying. I suppose most people just skim their email, so spelling mistakes are missed. And once they get the just of this one, they are too worried to notice.

Have a read of what other people are saying about this scam:

• The Internet Service Provider Consorcium Scam
• Internet Access Suspended Malware Email
• Spam Scam #6: The Internet Service Provider Consorcium
• The Internet is not a proper noun. Apparently.
