From The Spamfiles

Last spam of the year! Which means the year is almost over, a frankly horrifying concept.

Message from Ashfaq Ahmad, saying Elevate Your Website’s Power, Domain Authority and Domain Rating Pricing, Hi! Unlock the true…
Does the lack of an Oxford comma bother anyone else or is it just me?

Message from Muhammad Kashif, saying Strategize for Enhanced Web Reach, Our tailored approach involves strategic techniques to boost…
I don’t know why anyone would think I need more web reach on my blog. Look at all my visitors! [sound of crickets chirping]

Message from CarShield, saying Welcome To CarShield (but there are no spaces)
CarShield has not heard of spaces between words.
 Message from Mhugu, saying Increase DA and Purchase Guest Post, then in quotes “If your business is not on the internet, then your business…

So close to sounding like a real native English speaker, but you did mess up a few verbs and nouns. Also how is that not the sketchiest address sending me this text? Plus, this actually came in at like three in the morning, which I of course did not see because I was asleep. No, nothing suspicious about that!

  2. I seem to get those (not for Netflix, though) for services I do subscribe to, but through the wrong email address. Lately, I'm also getting a lot (and I mean a lot) of right wing "newsletters" that I did not subscribe to. Perhaps if I send them all to my junk folder, the email server will get the idea that these things are spam?
