My first spam!

I got this email today:

Sender: Recovery
Subject: Unclaimed money notification

WTF? What am I a member of? I don’t have any unclaimed money, and if I do, I wouldn’t be notified about it via email. I would get some official-looking document in the real mail. And the sender’s name wouldn’t be Recovery, it would be a real person’s name or at least the name of a company. SPAM! SPAM! SPAM!

Anyone else gotten this? Is it spam? It is isn’t it? Why is a lizard staring at me?

Mods, is it OK to post them there links? If no, please take ‘em out.

You’ve been online a least a year and this is your first spam? How did you do it?!

Here’s the spam I’ve gotten this morning. And these are only the ones that have gotten through about 100 layers of spam filters. If I didn’t have so many filters in place I would have had to give up my email address long ago.

I really want Spam Assasin, but it’s Unix only. :frowning: I hear someone’s porting it to Windows - can’t wait!

OK, I can’t spell: Spam Assassin is at http://spamassassin.org/

I have a non-national ISP, it’s only available in this county.

Here’s what’s trapped by my spam filters in the last 12 minutes alone:

When I open Eudora in the morning, after having it down during the night, I sometimes get over 200.

What my spam filter picked up:

RE: HOLLY SHIT - PORN For Only One Dollar!

Excuses When You Catch Her Blowing the Plumber… #10. He passed out, I’m giving him mouth-to-penis resuscitation "

Felicity’s Fun on the Farm Felicity

cjhanson,It’s proven - it works “Wade Lim”

RE: Spent the day in detention

I love the “holly shit”. I have no idea who cjhanson is. For some reason, this particular account gets almost exclusively porn spam.
