I got an e-mail from Jesus today. No kidding. He says I have too much time.
There is only one possible explanation:
SpamJesus is gonna kill me! Aaaaah!:eek:
BTW, I am rather amused by the randomly generated titles–“Wax Tadpoles Tree Rabid…” It is like spam haiku. I delete them without reading them all the same, of course, but I am less annoyed then by the “Knock down walls with your enoromouse p.e.n.e.s.” ones. (I can knock down walls with pasta? woo-hoo!)
Spam, spam
the magical meat
the more you email
the more you eat
Except that thanks to the Healthcare sytem, drugs I buy in france are reimbursed, hence basically free. So, even “cheap” canadian drugs would be much more costly for me.
But anyway, the overall issue is that most of the spams I receive are intended for american customers, and in many cases, are totally pointless, and/or the service/product can’t be used/bought by a non-american. How could I have my credit cleared by any US company? Credit rating doesn’t even exist here. How could they consolidate my debts? Advise me about how to pay less taxes to the US government? What the point of telling me I could easily find plenty of job opportunities in the US by using whatever method? Or to try to sell me a car or anything else?
Not even mentionning that since these spams are written in english, a lot of the “victims” won’t even be able to understand them.
So, what the point, for these spammers, in sending their garbage to non-US adresses?
Because all it takes is one dope to recognize one word (which is why they toss in a slew of perhaps-unrelated keywords at the bottom of the spam) that holds some kind of interest. The dope responds, and voila!
After all, I think the point of the spam isn’t to get you to spend money, it’s to get you to confirm you have a valid email - which the spammer can then sell to someone else.
Maybe we oughta direct our ire at the turnip-twaddling companies that pay spammers for their lists.
