It’s spam day! Since
I’m not doing regular posts next week, maybe I’ll do some spam posts? Best of the
spam I’ve gotten over the years. Yes, that sounds easy like something
people would enjoy.
This one seems very
unsure of itself. I suppose having all those question marks helps with liability.
Also, the quotes around ‘free’ there. Because we all know it isn’t free.
Okay, about the
random English words in this language I don’t know: obviously it’s supposed to
attract people (gamblers, I suppose, based on the words “win” and “poker”). But
why though? Why random English in some other language? Does that actually work
on people? Oh my god. That actually works on people.
Is the unusual
activity putting spaces in between each letter of Google? Because I do find
that suspicious.
They were so close
to sounding like a real human, and then they ruined it with that “Disclaimer:
Note:” and claiming to have found my email through “manually” efforts. Also the
fact that they say they’re not a spammer is a huge red flag. No idea why
they’re mentioning “The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003” either.
The IWSG email gets ones like that last one all the time.
ReplyDeleteCan we toss all the spammers into acid?
ReplyDeleteI got a real comment on a 2019 post the other day. It was about a widow dying of cancer. The comment noted she's still alive and sending the exact same message.
Perhaps those English words mean something different in that language. Or they've borrowed them from English, much like English borrows words from other languages. Or I'm just spending too much time trying to figure out spam. Probably that last one.
ReplyDeleteCan you cook spam in acid? I thought it had to be fried...
