Get me into this country!
I recived this via the Private Messaging of one of AO's sister forums. If I'm not mistaken, this one is not exactly asking for money, although I'm sure if one were to follow it up, then that's what it'd come down to.
Has anyone else seen this variation on "help me cover transaction costs"?

On a side note, what on earth is it with phising and terrible spelling? Is it some physcological thing with making the mark feel like they're the smarter one or is it just that these guys are insanely lazy?
