From The Spamfiles

I wonder what I’ll get this week. Though nothing’s going to beat “corpsified”.

message from “Drake-Casino” asking if three hundred percent is big enough for me
I’m a little afraid to find out what this is supposed to be in regard to.

This one purports to be from the HSBC bank, which I don’t have an account with, asking “Do You Authorize Her”, with You and Authorize being jammed together, and using three question marks
Setting aside the fact that I don’t have an account with them, what bank (or any business, really) would email a customer using three question marks in their query? They really think this sounds like something a bank would do??? As you can see, it is something I would do.

messages from Twitter and Facebook—though with the letters all having spaces between them—saying my passwords have been reset, heaven forfend
Yeah, I don’t care.
 
message from Natalia Elanova saying “I feel alone here Do you want to disturb”
Yes, this is something normal, fluent-in-English speakers say. Granted, she might still be learning the language, but that assumes that she’s an actual human.

a total of eleven messages supposedly from Facebook saying someone called Anamul is trying to access the account I don’t have
Anamul has tried to get into my non-existent Facebook account before. Apparently today he was on fire.

  1. The HSBC one is interesting!
    Here one notorious one is a text message warning people that their bank account will be closed in 24 hours if they don't click on a given link and fill in personal credentials.

  2. Anamul keeps trying to get into my Facebook account too. He's been trying for about 7 years.

  3. I always find it funny when someone is trying to access my Facebook account from the email that is not linked to my Facebook account. I never get those messages to the email that is linked to my Facebook account.

    Drake is dragon, right? So, I wonder if some dragon is attempting to increase its hoard in a casino. This kind of sounds like a book I read once...

  4. Wait, I thought all banks had switched to the three-question-mark protocol?!?
