Global Investment Institute

One would think that email scammers would get the message and move on to something a bit more creative in their attempt to defraud the innocent of their hard earned money, but so far that hasn't happened.

It's not bad enough that this guy expresses his concern that someone might be dishonest and keep the full amount, but the language and grammar is HORRIBLE. What kind of professional uses abbreviations or doesn't use spell checker or even capitalize the first word in the sentence or country names as in Africa, United States? Nor did this guy even do any research, which I did, and the company he is supposed to be representing, per their website, states they are in Australia. Here's the email:
