Spam e-mails that try to target you with "local" information...and suck at it

So lately I've been getting a few spam e-mails that have something along the lines of this format:

Subject: [my meatspace house number and street name]

Message:
Hi [my meatspace first name],

[message saying that the government or Obama is handing out grants, and I shouldn't miss out.  Message includes digg or google-bombed or otherwise directed link.]

[random firstname and lastname]
[house number] [street name]
[my hometown], [my state] [my zip code]

----

It's really hilarious when the street that "person" gives doesn't even exist in my town.

@evergreen: This is what caused me to search for "Seashell Drive" in my hometown, which resulted in the creation of that other thread.
