Spam emails!

Post by Taiga »

Today i looked at my email account and bothered to clean it out for once. Immediately emptied spam folder... then opened the inbox. In there were about 9 spam emails that should have been caught by the filter. One was an ad for a breast enlargement project. There were 2 business proposals and several chain mail things.
After finally tearing myself away from fantasies about having breasts, i decided I'd sit down and write a serious sounding reply to one of the business partnership proposal emails.
I sat doing this for half an hour, played my XBox for a bit then went back and scrapped the entire email. I started from scratch with something along the lines of 'I'm afraid i cannot accept this proposal because I am a fish. Glug glug, ooh what a pretty shipwreck.'

I find some of the titles to spammy emails quite interesting. I particularly like chain letters that have a rather depressing poem... then say 'email this to five people and something good will happen at 11pm tonight'.

Any amusing stories you can share of spam emails and such? there's always one or two that make you laugh.

I get loads of spam emails. They do tend to get filtered but I look at 'em anyway to laugh at 'em. They're usually about viagra and the like... But anyway. I got this one from someone obviously trying too hard to get my details that it was rediculously obvious it was spam. I can't remember how it went properly but I'll try and give an idea...
I am a cute 20 year old blonde with an amazing figure. I am also a multi-millionnaire and wish to give you some of this as a prize you have just won. Please email me back with your information. Also, here's my myspace. I think you're hot so I would like to meet up with you. Add me so we can know more about each other.
Made me laugh. I reckon it had more to it about helping Africans and animals in it as well but as said, I forgot what it really was like.
