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

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.

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.

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.
 

Even shorter than the last one and with twice as many red flags. Kudos.

Just loved how this was on my last Spamfiles post. Very appropriate.

All That Remains

Interesting things don’t often happen around here.

Hey, I don’t make fun of her hobbies.

Spam week! Let’s see how they’re trying to scam me now.

So much to get into here. Honestly, the “days” thing is an annoying mistake, but I am offended at the use of n apostrophe in place of and.

…Just how old do you think I am?

I don’t remembering entering all these contests where I’ve won an toolset, but they just keep coming in.

Wow! I was selected to received a direct deposited of $750 from an app I never even signed up for! Miraculous!

The most annoying part of this is that Virtual Starlight Kid sounds like a real Tumblr name, and I wish it was mine.

Real Horror

I remember when spiders were the worst thing I was scared of.

It’s putting a damper on the season, I can tell you that much.

From The Spamfiles

Yay! I missed this.

“Barbara spies” I’m sure she does, which is why I’m not giving her any info.

More free tool sets. It really bothers me that they’re using an in front of consonants. What is up with that?

$250-$500 per days. 🙄 How many days? Probably around five hundred.

Diego really isn’t giving up. But he’s involved with AI, so he’s worse than a scammer, he’s a total scumbag thief.

Aviator game? I’ve never heard of it. He also failed to make it in any way sound interesting. This is why you work on your elevator pitches, people.

Coming Back

I’m back on the internet, with all the horror that brings.

Wouldn’t it be nice if things somehow stopped being awful for a while?

Escape Artist

There’s a rip in the screen door.

Bluey, foiled once again by the fact that she doesn’t have a single thought in her head.

From The Spamfiles

This is quite a bit less depressing than everything that’s going on in the world.

Obvious Scam Sign #1: the “per Days” thing, which is just bad grammar; Obvious Scam Sign #2: the heart eyes emoji, which, come on, weird; Obvious Scam Sign #3: the amount it pays, which is an actual living wage and almost no job pays that.

The unusual activity is that I don’t have a Facebook account.

Since I shouldn’t have to go through the obvious scam signs again, I’ll just speculate what FaceSwap might be. Is it like the movie Face/Off? I never actually saw that one.

They catch the fish and immediately drive it to your door. Save fifteen dollars!

Love that it’s a dot au domain. I guess this is the Australian Peoples Credit Union, which isn’t much use to me.

From The Spamfiles

I love these posts. They’re so easy. Spam is one item always in abundance.

It’s spam, but probably doesn’t steal as much personal information as Meta does.

I guess they’re trying to tell me my account is suspended? It’s hard to tell since most of it is just random letters. If you’re going to spam, at least make it clear.

Mizmos! It’s just fun to say.

I am immediately suspicious of any one wanting to put a guest post on my blog. I have like three followers. Clearly they don’t know what they’re doing.

One Fourth

You either get the reference or you don’t.

Granted, it’s better than being bigger on the inside than on the outside, but I still don’t know why it was different each time.

First Steps

The actual story of my nephew’s first steps. The boy loves his snacks.

He was something of a late walker, since he didn’t start until sixteen months old, and his parents kept trying to encourage him to no avail. Apparently all they had to do was tell him no snacks so he’d leave in a huff.

How are the spammers trying to scam me this month?

I was going to comment on the whole I M ran thing, or the i rana, but then I saw that it boasts “human-written” articles, and I got bummed that that’s now something we have to say.

Don’t know how I ended up on this mailing list, or why the name involved is “Jeurytqzw”. It sounds like someone sneezed.

Viv at Vivcity is sending me a ten digit number. Just for fun, I guess.

Well, it’s Facebook, so I assume the unusual activity is implying people shouldn’t be allowed to be bigots and maybe scientists who’ve spent decades studying things actually know what they’re talking about.

Yes, there’s nothing that screams “Not a bot” more than a user name of 123456787…

Don’t Disturb The Nap

She’s mostly a sweet kitty, but god help you if you try to move her from her nap spot.

It’s quite rude, really.

Clogged Drain

Had a really bad clog in the bathroom drain a couple of weeks ago.

At least I got rid of the clog. Eventually.

From The Spamfiles

It’s that magical time again! Let’s look at the scams people somehow actually fall for.

This spammer seems to think the more punctuation they use, the more legitimate they look. They should have thrown in some semi-colons and parentheses.

Leaving aside the fact that I don’t use CBD, this is inviting me to a Black Friday sale. While this message is old, it’s not six months old. This is like from February. It’s a little late!

It’s got a circle R, it must be real!

The first one didn’t work, so they figured throwing some emojis in there would make it look more realistic.

Rajani was making the rounds again a few months back. And I think a few weeks ago. She shows up a lot here.

Outside Cat

Bluey the cat thinks she wants to go outside.

She’s been inside her entire life, so I’m not surprised she doesn’t really like the outside. She also really doesn’t like the harness.

From The Spamfiles

Bonus spam day! I hope I don’t run out. The spam well has been surprisingly dry lately.

Where to begin? I suppose the most egregious insult is that there’s an apostrophe before the S in greetings. Though abbreviating attention is also offensive.

If you put “an” before a number beginning with one, you can get the hell out of my house and never come back.

 

An Power Station. They’re doing this to spite me.

I’m sending this to myself. Also, I’m a costumer.

It’s always the posts that are years old that they comment on. On Tumblr commenting on old posts is actually very normal. On literally everything else it’s just suspicious.

Severe Injury

I really hurt my back… doing absolutely nothing.

The worst part is, this isn’t even the first time this has happened while I’m asleep. What the hell…
