Ridiculous spam e-mail you've received

[Protomorph]

"[tortuga's-tga-party] You are invited to join Wrestlmania wrestling Group!"  These emails supposedly from Tortuga have been the few amounts of spam I've received prior to today.  Spam from Tortuga?  Yes, though not from Tortuga,

No. not from Tortuga, but from his yahoo group. Spammers post stuff on Yahoo groups all the time. I've deleted that particular message (and banned the author who posted it) from my groups about 30 times.

Spammers post stuff on Yahoo groups all the time. I've deleted that particular message (and banned the author who posted it) from my groups about 30 times.

I've disabled user messaging on all the Freedom Force-related yahoo groups I manage because of spam. The three most common spam I encountered consisted of excerpted erotic short stories (turns out they were either selling "male enhancement" pills or straight-up online porn), a religious fundamentalist type newsletter thing (oddly enough, I can't even remember if it was Islamic or Christian or some other faith), and those fake, "I'm a cute girl who just moved to America/started college/joined the Peace Corps, etc." letters that invariably ask for financial aid and personal information.

LOL! Oh man, you're bad.

One fun subject line I just saw:

You can get larger over time

Yes, I know I've been gaining wait recently, I've gained 3 inches in waist size, but I don't need my spam messages to rub it in!

[ow_tiobe_sb]

Here is some SPAM that I received this morning (for a male enhancement product--notice the reference to the *snicker* "cucumber" ("'Gurke'")).  If one plans on sending out this dreck, one should at least learn how to format it properly. :P:

Indeed, and spam is not generally considered a rich source of iron.

Must be one heck of a "t". And it's got cross gender appeal.

I get one all the time saying:

'I'm am sorry for your loss, your long lost relative has recently died in Africa. He has left a large sum of money which he asked to be sent to his closest living relation. Please send us your bank details including your pin number and security code so we can transfer the money to you as soon as possible.

Many regards

Dr Omenachwey'

Honestly, I want to know why 5 long lost relations have all died in Africa in the last week?

I've recieved many of these during the years, even over seas lottery winnings. On the first one I got in touch with the BBB and found out that Americans entering into a lottery overseas is illegal. That I was not allowed to accept the winnings and I get get in serious trouble with the goverment if I did. So many spams and frauds on the internet are so alike thats its easy to know whats fake and whats not just by doing a little research about them.

"the reptilian way" [sings like Foreigner] " I'm... cold blood, check it and see.  I've got a fever of a negative three..."

*Laughs self off of chair*

I love that song!  Is that a new version?  Who sings it? 

I hate spam (not the guy).

How about these:
"Become the man you've always wanted to be..." (If I really wanted to be, I would have become him.)
from urloveingame"I would love to meet you.  Write back..."  (Unfortunately, this one came through Webrider's group messages.  Still, what are they promoting with "urloveingame"?  Toon porn?  Gack.)
"Free immigration to UK, US, Australia..."  I was born in the US, why would I need free immigration?  :doh:
"Female enhancement (I assume breasts)"  :huh: I'm a guy.  :o  Hmmm.  Or am I?   :lol:

I just go this:

College Diploma you wanted hairy

Yeah I know I need a haircut and I have lots of hair, but that is unnecessary. Not to mention you offer a diploma to mask your evilness. I spit on your brother's frog

[gdaybloke]

"I am ready to kill myself and eat my dog, if medicine prices here (link here) are bad."

Presumbaby not in that order?

[PreRaphaelite]

"Earn $200 simply filling in forms from the comport of your own home"

Dollars mean nothing to me, I can't afford a comport, and I'm illiterate.

"Welcome back to Freedom Reborn"

Hah! It's even sent by someone with "Ripoff" in their name.

[ow_tiobe_sb]

This just in (with the most entertaining subject line I've ever encountered :lol:)

Subject: The flies might knock the travellers off their legs and even kill them.

That's sheer poetry!

[Glitch Girl]

It is a species of madness, but greatness is not possible without it.

Not as cool as ow_tiobe's but still one of the better recent subject lines I've gotten.

And when Valinor was full-wrought and the mansions of the Valar were established, in the midst of the plain beyond the mountains they built their city, Valmar of many bells.

I seem to be getting the epics lately.

[zuludelta]

Here's a particularly ingenious one:

The project was announced November 8, 2003, followed by the first alpha release ...

[Glitch Girl]

He was pretending to fix the rug.

sometmes I REALLY gotta wonder about the origins of some of these headers.

[Camma]

 I got one to my work address today:

"Are you lonely?  Do want to know what I do when I get lonely?..."


[spoiler]NO!!!![/spoiler]


The funniest things about some of the subject lines are the totally backwards logic of the statements. What makes them think i or anyone would open something like that.

[Sevenforce]

*beats dead horse

"Food Stamp 43 Gonads"

Seriously, whats wrong with spammers? I mean...Guh? What in the WORLD is that meant to mean? Is that Food stamps swapped for 43 Gonads, or Food, followed by stamping 43 poor souls gonads? Or Food stamps applied liberally to 43 apparently malnourished gonads?

EDIT:

And when Valinor was full-wrought and the mansions of the Valar were established, in the midst of the plain beyond the mountains they built their city, Valmar of many bells.

Uh...is that from the Silmarillion? That IS ingenious O_o

[Lunarman]

Well they just want to get their e-mail passed spam filters. Obviously they think LOTR will help them with that, lol. Or maybe the dark lord is behind this whole spamming thing anyway?!......

[Camma]

Viruses advance from Isengard to the west, and spam closes in from Mordor.  The Will of Men will be put to the test!

This one is so random its poetic:

"Half-past with aparatus spade care twelve, we are always in bed."

Now tell me that doesn't sound like fridge magnet poetry from a drunken soire.
