Spam Hall of Shame

Like you I get 100s of spam messages on a regular basis. Owning your own domain is like raw meat for the buzzing spamming hordes. So I started this little corner of peknet for memorializing the best and worst of what I delete from my mail. (Caveat: my spam filter ensures I don't see most of the spam; I'm trusting that only the most entertaining and life-like mail actually reaches my inbox. Kind of a pre-screening for the Hall.)

Wha??

Most scam spam tries to make some sense. But this line from a recent "give us your info" spam just makes no sense:

...you must be reactivated immediately due to our SSL secure server memory in our database.


Even my wife laughed at how dumb that sounds.

They've got my number

Those crazy random spam generators appear to have found my number: random sentence fragments about politics and technology seem to fool SpamAssassin and end up in my inbox. Here's a good one:

My first thought was, its a video web portal, how different can it be? Rick Santorum, left, and Pennsylvania State Treasurer Bob Casey. Foley's online conversations with teenage male pages, but have largely hunkered down as Republicans beat up each other amid accusations of a less-than-agressive initial response. But in this battle, the only thing left to see is boxing gloves. , figuring out just how bad the collateral damage is going to be for the GOP is akin to trying to guess if the roof is going to blow off of a house in the midst of a storm. Thank you to our event sponsors Backbone Media and BusinessWire. I knew this would be fun! It is a bit too early to say if it is a great service or not, but I have great hopes that it will work out for me.
