They are persistent too. I have blocked and marked as spam numerous emails warning me that my Apple ID (which I don't have) has been locked for security reasons and I need to log-in to my account. The fake PayPal restore your account scam is another one.

My favorites are still the Nigerian princes needing help getting millions out of the country. Maybe I'm just old school.
