From The Spamfiles

What’s this? A bonus Tuesday? More spam!

Message from Membership Offer, saying Enroll now to get a free gift, only twelve dollars for your first year with automatic renewal, join or renew now
I like how there’s absolutely no indication as to what company this is offering me “membership”. For all I know it’s some sort of terrorist organization.

Another message from Blanca Saunders, saying rocket emoji, unleash the future NOW, fire emoji, easily create human like content and AI graphics
I do indeed want to load all generative AI creators and users into a rocket and then send the rocket into the fire of the sun.

Message from Cash App with winged dollar bill emojis around the name, saying you received a direct deposited money bag emoji, dollar sign emoji, 1999,99 dollar sign, right arrow emojis, claim now, dollar sign money bag dollar sign emoji
I love how there are three gigantic warning flags just in this short message: 1. All the emojis; 2. Direct deposited (eye roll); and 3. The fact that they don’t get the comma in the right place in the dollar number. If you’re falling for this, you need help.
 

Message from verify 130 at scan visions, no subject, followed by a random ten digit number
Even shorter than the last one and with twice as many red flags. Kudos.

Message from berry on one of my From The Spamfiles posts, saying Adding supplemental oxygen or oxygen that is above the amount found in the atmosphere without alteration is most commonly delivered to the patient by nasal cannula, O2 mask (simple, non-rebreather, Venturi-mask) or added into a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) or BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure) then a bunch of oxygen concentrator links
Just loved how this was on my last Spamfiles post. Very appropriate.

  1. If it's a direct deposit, why do you have to claim it?

  2. Just last week I got the "I caught you doing something on your computer camera; pay me so I don't email it to all your contacts". I almost put it on my blog for funsies. But I resisted. (And it's been over the time limit, so I suppose all my contacts have been contacted. Too bad that's one of my "burner" email accounts.)

  3. There is a certain irony in the spammer spamming your spam post.
