I have been amused lately by the new influx of spam purporting to be a psychic reading enclosed for me. If they really WERE psychic, wouldn't they know I'm deleting it unread?

I have been amused lately by the new influx of spam purporting to be a psychic reading enclosed for me. If they really WERE psychic, wouldn't they know I'm deleting it unread?
You sound like me......:D :D
I haven't got any of those, but my spam folder has been having fun eating a bunch of messages like this one:
Meh. This message listed many addresses in the "To:" header that were people with accounts on the same domain as mine, so I'm guessing they're specifically directed at said domain. Still, it would flip any slightly good email spam detection system, so I have to wonder why they even send them, unless they're doing it just to do it.Code:From: "Priest Barney" <cut@cut>

MR.KELVIN SMITH.
Aren't we a lucky group? We could end world hunger, poverty and save many furbabies with all this cash.
I received a message telling me about how I needed to look into consolidating the enormouse debt from my credit cards.
Of course, the fact that I don't currently have any credit cards didn't seem to cross their minds.:eek:
Another reason to hate computers!
For some reason I get a lot of emails for "male enhancement products"
Do they know something I don't? :confused:
My parcel is "ready for despatch" - all I have to do is give them my bank details...............so kind of them, sending me something I haven't ordered ;)
I get them all the time. I've won the Australian Lottery, inherited money from some long lost relative in Nigeria (Nigeria???? right). Everytime I get one, it immediately goes into the "spam" pile.
