We get spam …
- david.hemingway,Firmer, Larger Breasts in just 30 days. Um … no thanks.
- here is the link. Oh, thanks. Uh, did I ask you for a link? And why, if I opted in to your bulk mailing, does all the legalese at the bottom (necessary given your touting some obscure stock) note that the offer is not valid in about 30 states, of which mine is one?
- Adv:ce Unbelievable Discounts! Yes, you indeed tried to make the weasel-legal “adv:” prefix on the subject into something that might look like the word “Advice.” Jerk.
- LOOK ! Y O U are a W I N N E R here ! – Don’t miss out! I’m truly touched that you’re so intersted in my winning that I’ve received this message a dozen times in the last week, half of them evidently from the same guy (with slightly different e-mail accounts).
er. you actually read the stuff?
that just puts a weird twist on my opinion of you…
I submit all spam I get to SpamCop via the SpamDeputy tool (at work). That gives me a chance to skim through it (plaintext) just to confirm that I really am narcing on spam, not some commericial e-mail I actually might have solicited.
It’s actually kind of fascinating, in a horrible way, what goes on in those e-mails, especially behind the HTML scenes.
