New trend in spam

Postby Vallikat » Mon Jul 18, 2005 5:58 pm

In what I assume is an effort to thwart spam blockers, I've been getting some spam with subjects lines that are made up of random words. For example, from the weekend:

To drive go geld
For it a his
On type be blast

and the ever enticing:

A find so overweight snow

I mean ok, sure the blocker isn't picking them up as pr0n (assuming that is what they are). However, do they think that I'm somehow going to be fooled by these subject lines? The least they can do is try to form complete sentences or something. :)

For the past week, I've been getting 1 or 2 emails with the subject line:

[*SPAM*] Buy our chubby rodent snot, or whatever.

It's not my mailing system putting that in the subject line, they're actually SENDING it that way. How messed up is that?

At least they warn you. :)

I don't have a problem with spam, i'll tell you how i do it. I have two e-mail accounts. One is the one i use online and everywhere and the other one is the one i guard with my life. When i give it to someone i trust i specifially say don't give it out or i will hunt you down and make an example out of you :twisted: . Okay so i don't take it that far :D
