No pride of workmanship!

apparentparadoxRecently, I've received several phishing/spam emails about a problem with a direct deposit check. While the subject somewhat hints at the whole issue, the body of the email just contains a bunch of letters/numbers and a hypertext link, nothing else.
In my day, people generally put some effort into their work, at least trying to do a good job, attempting to make the body of the email look like it was from some official bank -- with words and a fake .sig and stuff like that to encourage the receiver to believe that there was some problem and therefore really should click on the link to resolve the problem. Apparently some people have just given up and are OK with just doing a crap job. That just makes me sad.
