one month passes...

I am adopting this unanswered thread...

My favourite ones are the ones that are purporting to be from some dictator or dictator's staff from some third world country, saying "Hi, I've embezzled a LOT OF MONEY from my country. Can you help me get it out, please?"

Like, how DUMB do you have to be to reply? This person has walked up to you and said "Hi! I'm admitting to being a liar and a thief, will you give me access to your money?"

Last one I got of those, which said it had carefully chosen me as a reliable person, was set to University College London's directory-corrections email address.

Oh I can't POO here. I should use this thread to express my daily spam frustrations.

Yesterday I got one about Russian women suddenly deciding "that Western men are more attractive now" and that I have thus been selected to be some sort of guide for their visit, or etc. I'm hardly the sort of Western-man specimen a Russian woman would want to spend time/fuck with (but I can always deny that, can't I?)

I get loads of biggish (150-200k) emails to this Hotmail address that seem to be blank. I think there might be attachments but, because I'm thick as shit, I can't find the thing to press to get information on attachments in hotmail. Not that I look so hard.

Argh! EK, don't open those, they are viruses!

― kate, Monday, 13 January 2003 22:35 (twenty-two years ago)

haven't had any truly bizarre spam for a while. about 3 years ago i was getting some good stuff: 'Do you want to be a witch?', 'Beautiful Equine Art', and Chinese companies trying to sell thousands of tonnes of metals are a few i remember. it all just seems to be pr0n and mortgages these days...

― michael (michael), Monday, 13 January 2003 22:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I wouldn't choose to open them, don't worry. But I can't even see a description of the file attached on hotmail (like type of file and its name).

I went through a phase a few months back of getting the same spam over and over again; it was for septic tank management software. Which fits nicely with the thread title, I guess.

― caitlin (caitlin), Monday, 13 January 2003 22:58 (twenty-two years ago)

haha, my oldest pal said he got loads of septic tank stuff a while ago. I'd not found anyone else who had until now.

My favorite spam subject header ever:

"How do you stop three girls from fighting over a two-headed dildo?"

I think this was ripped from Richard Simmons but my favorite subject line is:

"I Love You and I Don't Want You To Die!!!"

Subject: New Year with Vicodin Grover

― jw, Tuesday, 15 March 2005 15:48 (twenty years ago)

I am writing you today as a co-Director of a soon to be SA recognized
group looking to create and maintain a website on the University's
server. Unlike many other student groups that maintain a web page as a
means to post updates, announcements, and other information pertaining to
the group's present existence, I am looking towards having a more
interactive site. The kind of website I am envisioning will include a
discussion forum, message board, online newsletter, events calendar, and
the typical features found on many UR student group pages. I am curious
as to whether these features are permissible and capable on the
University's server and if so how may I go about establishing both a
visually captivating and an educational webpage? I've included links to
student group webpages at other respectable institutions that captures
the intent of my proposed webpage. Thank you in advance for your
assistance.

I adore this one, because it's as though a secret agent came up to me, pretending to just hassle me about buying a Vibrating Ring, but right before he left whispered his true and very important message about embryos.

Response Requested: Reference # XR-78H

Given that you are you usually in the know, I would imagine you already know about the Vibrating Ring?
