It must be years since we had something like this:
Reply-To: <directorrobertmueller@xxx.com>
From: "FBI OFFICE"<xxxxx@outlook.com>
Subject: WARRANT TO ARREST YOU - GET BACK TO US FOR YOUR OWN GOOD
and a rather more conciliatory body:
Hello,Please kindly read the Attached Notice for more details.Thanks,FBI
The attachment was a TXT file, but I didn't even bother looking.
Has anyone had this sort of spam message recently?

Re: Aggressive spam
These days it's mostly e-mails claiming that there are some unread messages to me on social media such as Facebook and LinkedIn. And this morning I received an e-mail from "Gmail+team" that I needed to confirm my personal information if I wanted to continue using Gmail; the message came from an @interia.pl address...
Best wishes,
Hans

Re: Aggressive spam
We've just received, in the mail, a letter and an authorization form, posted from The Netherlands (I don't suspect HansV though), informing us that we won € 457'000'000.00 . It even has a prepaid envelop to return the form, presumably because we can't afford the postage charges to Europe.
Once the money arrives, I'll implement a gold skin for the lounge so we can all share this fortune together.

Re: Aggressive spam
With that amount of money you can invite the entire lounge to an exclusive ALL PAID round the world cruise on the Allure of the Seas.

Re: Aggressive spam
Sorry, no; I thought we all agreed that we don't like cruises, well, almost all.
I'm making arrangements to join Richard Branson on his first space flight though. As long as the application form comes with a prepaid envelop of course.

Re: Aggressive spam
I guess that could be cool. To take ALL loungers on a space cruise will cost $274,250,000.00, meaning that you have approx. 200,000,000.00 left to jazz up the lounge with a gold skin. I'm game.
Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of Eileen's Loungers. Their continuing mission: to explore strange new Excel errors, to seek out new answers and automated solutions, to boldly do what no one has done before in a friendly and family orientated manner!
Anyone afraid of heights!
