Its unfortunate that Cahoot really is a British bank.
I know, its a stupid name for a bank I think they came up with at the end of the dot com boom.

I got a message entitled "A nice game". In the message
"This is a very nice game This game is my first work. You're the first player. I expect you would enjoy it."
It comes with a download. Sounds like a really nice game, I think I'll try it.

Last week I got one with the subject line "Obama found dead in shock accident."
I knew it was spam, but I was wondering whether it was a new storm worm attack, so I googled the subject line and found the following message in the body of the email:

Yes, I keep getting these organ enhancement spam mails that come with breaking news subject lines. Such as "Beijing Olympics cancelled, moved to Athens" or "Paris Hilton stabbed by stalker"

I keep my savings in Cahoot. It's a respectable on-line bank with a reasonable interest rate. The phrase 'in cahoots' means the same in British English as in American English, I think: 'in company, partnership or collusion with'. It's just a name. A while ago there was a Japanese bank called the Tomato Bank.

The folks who send out fraudulent phishing email from Nigeria and elsewhere don't always have a well-developed sense of what names would strike rich dumb Americans as confidence-inspiring. Here, for example, is the beginning of an email rescued from my Junk file: CAHOOT Bank has been receiving complaints from our customers for unauthorised use of the CAHOOT Online accounts. As a result we periodically review CAHOOT Online Accounts and temporarily restrict access of those accounts which we think are vunerable to the unauthorised use.
