Got a new kind of spam email:

hi Maude i hope this is your mailbox. I was glad to meet you the other day. I hope you are really had like the New York. So much so much happening all the time, lots of great opportunities. And speaking of opportunities, the deal I was speaking you about other day involves a company called {censored company name}. It's already heading up, but the big information isn't even out yet, so there's still time. I have got this shares already and made 2000. I recommend you to do the same today.

Hope this helps you out. I'll see you this weekend. Yours Maude Gardner

It is designed to look like an email to a mistaken address but is really doing some share tipping. Clever idea, got through the google spam filters. Still suffers from the usual bad grammar (or is it a good impersonation of sloppy NY email speak?).
