Anyone noticed how absolutely bizarre some spammers “names” are? Here are just a few from my inbox this morning:
Colorfully O. Evaporation
Intervention K. Grilles
Augustine Harley
Staccato D. Constraining
Bindery D. Quested
Hometowns E. Decal
Kareem Crockett
Bowdlerizes M. Paralyzed
Muzzle C. Cutups
Editorialized M. Entrenchment
Beard R. Nereid
Even the ones that could pass for real names are always seem just a bit off.
Wouldn’t you know it, I’ve only got one spam in my inbox purporting to be from a person (unless you count glurge from my BIL), and it’s from “Leanna Quintero,” which I guess is pretty normal.
Belittling K. Portcullis mailed me today. included in his sureal spam monitor-avoiding screed contained this gem “The modern little red riding hood, reared on singing commercials, has no objections to being eaten by the wolf.”
Sweet! I have received an e-mail from Porno H. Generosity. This worthy wishes to apprise me of “Lveoly carootn hero in perrevt action.” Oh Porno H, truly your last name is generousity!
Actually, my spam filter tags these surprisingly easily–they are almost always sent straight to the Junk Mail folder. Although just now, one from Honer L. Servants just got through. (Honer L. Servants, by the way, is apparently “seexy.” So now you know.)
