Every now and then, I run across a piece of spam that's just funny... I had to share.At the top was the usual prescription drugs I can buy from these guys. I'm thinking about taking them up on the offer, I hear the Xanax/Viagra/Cialis/Ambien/Valium cocktail is pretty hot nowadays with the kids, it's the cool buzz to have!

It's how they try to bypass spam filters. Fill it with garbage, though grammatically correct garbage, and the spam filters will often think it's legit.

Last month I got a variation of the Nigerian bank transfer scam, only this time supposedly it was Pinochet's doctor. It was maybe just a week after Pinochet died. These guys are getting quick.

Check this one I caught this morning."I'm sorry, Paul. date concave She had used a chain attached to the Cherokee's trailer-hitch to do this. He wanted to tell her so much, wanted to tell her even though he knew that a ravening paranoid like Annie would reject what was so obvious. Jesus Christ, Ted Nugent would be just fine. Just not being caught, it seemed, was a marvellous restorative. I killed her because she caught me cheating. Paulie. She had never heard Geoffrey sound so, and would not have believed it if someone had told her of it. In the picture she looked like something whose bones might have been exhumed from the La Brea Tar Pits. crosstalk

I get the ones from "e-bay" and "pay-pal" alot. I started forwarding them to the real e-bay and paypal, and the companies are very happy to get them. I know it doesn't help much, but it makes me feel better.I wonder how much money people make off those? (mainly the perscription drugs ones). I mean, I understand it costs them next to nothing to e-mail a few million people, and they only need a few people to bite to actually make money.... but I wonder about the statistics of it all....
