The Funny SPAM Email Thread (NSR)

**Lane Meyer** · 09-21-2004, 02:45 PM

I wonder what the fuck any of this shit means, but I get like 15 of them per day. Some of them are random jumbles of words like magnetic poetry written by an author of the OED on acid:

clearheaded lithograph palliate diverge attribute main addis macaque carload pug tie desist transfuse rollick consul confidential richfield postposition byway prescribe ethylene

What are those, Phish lyrics?

Others are somewhat funny:

Most of the time I would stay h'o^me with my cat--Jiggy. I am n'.ot good at
communicating with people. For o.n,line shopping for m,,ed~s I n-e'ed I
don't n_e.ed to talk and wait in line with a lot of others. I just n~e^ed to
sit in front of the pc and then cl,ic~`k while Jiggy sitting on my knees. I
am relieved from the things I am afraid of before. --Rachel K. TX

followed by

¡¡¡¡"I have n~^o wheel on hand that would fit your cabriolet.
¡¡¡¡There was also in this h,ou,se, between this elderly spinster and this
old man, a child, a little boy, who was always trembling and mute in the
presence of M. Gillen^,ormand.

Anyone else got any winners?

It means yet another spammer got your email address, and they've sent a bunch of garbage in the hopes that it DOESN'T get returned.

You should notice an increase in your spam over the next week or so.

edit: or you already knew all this and are simply amused by it. Yes, I get several a week also.

Does this actually help sell stuff?

yeah, I block the fuckers domains with every new one I get, yet they keep coming, like the waters of the Monogahela over Point State Park. Lately I've been trying to be amused by them so as to at least gain something from the whole deal. Fuckers!

Where do they get that shit? Does someone actually sit down and write a program to randomly mine the dictionary for a random jumble of words?

That's the reasoning behind the words themselves - they usually contain a specific SET of characters which are prevalent in say - prescription meds. Bet if you look through that list, you'll find a word or 2 ending in "agra". You might have blocked "VIagra", but you didn't think to block "agra". So instead of using the whole word, they'll break it up, or change the spelling:

Vyagra, vi agr a, etc...

sneak fuckers, indeed.

i never open those. i just delete them when they come in. once you open them or click the links they know that they hit a working email address and will send more spam your way.

I used to get a lot of spam. Now I get maybe one or two a day that make it all the way to my inbox.

* Run Spam Assassin on your server if possible. It grabs the majority of the spam.

* Use Thunderbird for an e-mail client. It has more spam filtering built in that works very well.
