The Official SPAM Thread

by **canman** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 10:47 am

Well I'm glad to see that it is not only me. I was wondering why the spam mails started to have these strange abstract art like boxes in them. I figured that it was some way to try and fool spam blockers. And I will agree the problem has gotten much worse in the past six months.
As for the advice to have multiple emails, if you go back and read my post that is what I did. I have my one private mail that I only share with family and friends, and then a yahoo address for internet shopping and sites like ESPN and the like. And no I don't surf at 2:00am for those kind of sites. I do it at 2:00pm in the afternoon when I'm still genki!

This could save a lot of time not having to bother calling all my wife's lovers to figure out where she's at.

Dear Friend!

I am Ando Satoshi, Japanese national; an attorney at Law, and the official
receiver in charge of administering the funds from the sale of the assets
of the bankruptcy estate of Sphere Energy Japan. This is the real deal. By
virtue of my position as the trustee of the bankruptcy estate, I have processed
the claims of all the creditors and also issued out cheques for their claims.
However, a certain surplus amounting to about Four Million Seven Hundred Thousand
and fifty British Pounds Sterling (Ј4,750,000.00) is yet to be disbursed out.
To this end, I am seeking your assistance to transfer about Four Million Seven
Hundred Thousand and fifty British Pounds Sterling. I want you to help me collect
this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations. Please kindly note that
upon the receipt of these funds from the financial institution, you shall invest
it in your line of business and dispatch the profit to charitable home. As soon
as i receive your response, I shall communicate with you, and let you know the
details of the transfer. Whatever your actions and your decision are, I thank
you for taking the time to read this email. Please note that this is not a scam
as it does not require upfront payment but escrow payment.

Regards,

Ando Satoshi

It seems the Nigerian 419 scammers think that putting another country like Malaysia in the mail will fool their potential victims.

I am a fucking magnet for these things:

from:
Dennis Watson, dwjjapan@gmail.com

Hello,
How are you and your family? I just hope this email finds you well. Kindly pardon me for reaching out to you in this manner and I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause you. I just want you to know I had an urgent trip to Spain to participate in a Seminar.

Everything was fine until I got robbed on my way back to my hotel. I lost my money, cards & mobile phone in the course of this attack, I'm so glad that I wasn't harm or hurt. Kindly observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that I'm fine and definitely not hurt. Only that my financial situation is so dire now because I have no money on me to balance my bills and take care of my miscellaneous expenses till my departure next weekend. Anyway I have also reported the incident to the police for an assistance and they advised I block all my accounts, including my bank cards immediately.

I'm sending you this message to inform you that am presently stranded at the moment and need your assistance with a loan of 2500euros[about $3400usd] to balance my outstanding and pay up my bills till my departure. Please let me know if you would be able help me with this amount or any amount you can afford to lend me. I will refund you the money even with interest immediately upon my arrival back home.

Thanks in advance and with much appreciation,
Looking forward to your reply.

regards, Dennis Watson
