Weird spam

Yesterday I got this email:

Hello,
I’m a time traveler stuck here in 2003. Upon arriving here my dimensional warp generator stopped working. I trusted a company here by the name of LLC Lasers to repair my Generation 3 52 4350A watch unit, and they fled on me. I am going to need a new DWG unit, prefereably the rechargeable AMD wrist watch model with the GRC79 induction motor, four I80200 warp stabilizers, 512GB of SRAM and the menu driven GUI with front panel XID display.
I will take whatever model you have in stock, as long as its received certification for being safe on carbon based life forms.
In terms of payment:
I dont have any Galactic Credits left. Payment can be made in platinum gold or 2003 currency upon safe delivery of unit. Please transport unit in either a brown paper bag or box to below coordinates on Sunday July 27th at (exactly 3:00pm) Eastern Stand Time. If you miss this timeframe please email me.
42.4845467 & Longitude -71.1576157 and the ground is 101.3′ above sea level.
Although those coordinates are a secure guarded area, these channels through email are never secure. Unfortunately it is the only form of communication I have right now. There is a good chance that sombody will try to redirect the signal. The unit must be teleported directly in a way that nobody will be able to interfere with the transference.
After unit has been sent please email me at: info@federalfundingprogram.com
with payment instructions. Do not reply directly back to this email.
Thank You

Huh? The lat/long mentioned is Woburn, Massachusetts
Is this just another form of email harvester? Anyone else got this particular spam?

  2. After doing a search (I normally don’t read the spam I get) I see that I also got a message from this person. It’s not identical..quite a bit different actually. Shorter, although it mentions the AMD watch thing and gives the info@federalfundingprogram email address.

  3. I’ve never gotten an email like that, but I have a friend who lives about a quarter of a mile from that location. I could have him check it out. Or, I could head over there from Boston, it’s only 15 min from here. Might be interesting.
    This all sounds like a Geocaching mission gone crazy. There are quite a few active Geocachers in the area…

  4. No Dimensional Warp Generator for me!

    I rolled onto Cummings Ave. around 2:58 PM and found a Toyota parked at the end of the street occupied by two men in sport coats. Both of them were on mobile phones. The minute I turned onto the…

  5. I got this email or one very much like it about two years ago. I found it fascinating, printed it out and showed to a few people. I kept it and will have to find it to compare with yours.

  7. Got a similar one a couple of weeks ago, and recalled getting it a year or so ago as well. I feel for the poor guy, as it appears he has had a real problem with getting reliable parts. I forwarded it on to a few friends, as I had just sold my last model # 52 4350a (actually I traded it for a mint condition vintage Mathey Tissot 14k rectangular bezel wath:
