| Sir Noel Plum Senior Studmuffin  1001 Posts 2/03 |  Posted - Mar 27 2004 : 5:33AMIt seems that over the last few months anout a quarter of my inbox spam comes from names such as 'Foreboded I. Reasonably','Catskill C. Disdain' and 'Politic H. Saboteurs' to give three of todays crop. The foremat is always the same with two seemingly randomly assigned words and an initial inbetween. These seem to originate from a whole variety of ISPs and lathough upon opening they have links to sites (often pharmacies) but thwe wording is often only barely understandable. As an example here is the text from one of todays (from a 'Farming C. Buggiest'): Sirnoelplum, looking for a source to buy medicatiboBn? Here you will find it: A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.

| Sir Noel Plum Senior Studmuffin 1001 Posts 2/03 | Posted - Mar 27 2004 : 11:48AM What I don't understand is that spam is supposed to advertise and try and coax (or trick) you into buying or using something yet I can't imagine these emails eliciting as much as a single positive outcome. They don't even make any sense, look at what Copperheads had to 'say' in an email entitled Re:i've been lost, thanx for finding me bench :- Hey Sirnoelplum, did you forget about me, that personal ad let me off for being offensive can you imagine? leave me a message here I'll reply asap http://www.cybersexyhomepage.biz/im/xangelsbabyx.html latertill later today xangels babyx basic finch roads peach a pelts quiet fudge third maces gifts stood input could i ask you no morefor me. relax green album facts queer power glass often often cross and style man round snaps safes salsa fugue and tower brick intel means clone count maine nurse angle break reset sound shout pants allot again I mean, what the fuck is that all about???????? Why would anyone bother to set up a program to spew out spam if all it consists of is a load of incomprehensible gobbledygook? Frutatious N. Plums [Link] |

Additionally, that text or those images which are visible are often used to entice the reader to click, even inadvertently, on a web link. Then, "Gotcha!" ~ GaySatyr [Link] |

| Dick Johnson Member 175 Posts 3/04 | Posted - Apr 4 2004 : 12:04AM Like, if your spam filter removes messages that contain the word "viagra", by adding random letters to it, like "viagATra", your spam filter doesn't detect the word and let it thru. Why do spammers try to get past the filter even though they know you'll delete this? Because there are some morons out there that actually "appreciate" the offers and buy from them. And for spammers, if they get back 5 customers per 1 million spam emails, they still make a great living. Personally, I think "spam clients" are as despicable as its purveyors because their selfish acts encourage the spammers to continue to harass the 99.99999999% of us that HATE spam! [Link] |
