    Ah, the delights of spammers

    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?

    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.


  4. LOL spammers are everywhere. even in video games

    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.

    These are not the droids you were looking for

    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.

    MooShoo,you left me too soon.I wasn't ready.Know that you were my soulmate and have left me broken hearted.I loved you like no other. 1999 - 2010See you again "ONE FINE DAY"
    Maya Linn, my heart is broken. The day your beautiful blue eyes went blind was the worst day of my life.I only wish I could've done something.I'll miss your "premium" purr and our little "conversations". 1997-2013 See you again "ONE FINE DAY"

    But THAT'S exactly what those unread readings say. "Within 1 minute, you will dispose of this unread psychic reading message".
    BECAUSE.....the exact one that you will eventually choose to open will have the message in it that was intended exclusively for you.
