Spam Sender Names

[RichardCranium]

Google Mail appends the first text line (greyed) to the subject title, which makes it easy to spot the junk even if the sender name and title don't make it obvious (and in my case their spam detection is pretty near perfect).

I registered for a Mail on Sunday account; the response email was moved to the spam folder by Google. So, yes, 100% right.

You'd think these wretched spammers would have given up by now. I mean how many people actually reply to them?

I think at least some of then are selling on the addresses to the naive. During bench time in the early '90s the local paper was full of envelope stuffing jobs, which given I had a computer and printer looked like money for old rope (if somewhat boring). I couldn't help but think it was really a means of shifting typewriters to unemployed hopefuls who had no computer.

First rule of marketing: -

1) Never underestimate the sheer stupidity and greed of human beings.

Oh Lordy - why do people fall for this crap? Surely 'fed up of pissing on yourself?' would sell more?

In their attempts to defeat spam filters, they make euphemisms an art form.

Mine have got a bit dull lately - back in the glory days of 2007 I was getting mail from such luminaries as:

• Humble Richendollar
• Priest Filman
• Hakim Rude
• Blakely Piccolo

...and of course my old friend and a favourite of us all, fdjsfjsf Konkov

I think I'm missing out since Yahoo pulled its finger out and got good at blocking spam

I can put you in touch with Lazaro if you feel you are really missing out

Those Acai berrys are wonderful. They cure baldness and 'man problems', solve global warming, and allow user to commune with God. It's been on Oprah so it must be good.

[bogeyman]

Wherever do they get them?

Here are a couple from my current junk mail folder...

Lazaro Pap
Melenie Coityus
Joakim Seagull
Rebecca Stain
Betty Penwus
Gerldorf Woo
Amity Box
Pong Tamoshunas

You'd think that if they wanted their messages to be read, they'd come up with remotely believable names, wouldn't you?

Anyway, I have ordered £200 worth of 'herbal viagra' from Lazaro Pap.

Here's hoping!
