Spam, spam, spam
Quote:
Every once in a while, I just have a spam that tickles my peculiar funny bone and this one did it. I still don't quite get why people put extra words onto the end of spam, but this one is perfect- it had me laughing for a couple of minutes. For some reason this gave me the mental image of Johnnie Cochrane getting in front of a jury and starting off his closing statement with "There once was a man from Nantuckett...". SI

My immediate thought was Tom Cochrane. You know, life is a highway and he wants to ride it all night long; if you're going his way, he wants to drive you all night long.
Makes sense to me.

I've gotten to the point where I just let my spam build up for a few days in my yahoo account and then go through it when there's over 1000. When sorted by title, here's something I found.

I've received several spams as of late that are phishing scams saying that they're the IRS and that they owe me some money and all I need to do to claim it is click on the handy link and enter in some personal information.
My question is...whose bright idea was it to impersonate the IRS? They're the LAST people I would want to piss off, and I imagine they don't appreciate folks pretending to be them.

I learned recently that the reason that spam often has snippets of real articles and the like is an attempt to circumvent spam filters. I guess if there's enough text that sound legit spam filter lets them through, or so I've heard.

Here's one thing I don't understand: Whenever I report spam to gmail, in the next five minutes I invariably get flooded with more spam than I had got in the last week.
Is there something about reporting spam that temporarily turns off the spam blocker? |

How bad is the economy that it's not even lottery winnings any more, it's only a job offer scam? I love some of the language as people who aren't native speakers don't quite get the nuances of connotation.
