Some spam I got this morning:

"[Some app] uses unique private keys for each transaction."

If the security features of your app, which I've never heard of before, are such that you feel the need to advertise them through *spam*, what does it say about those very same features?

Marshall McLuhan famously said, "The medium is the message."

What message do you think you are sending when you are sending it through the medium of a spam comment on my blog?

I'll tell you: "I'm a liar and my app is shit."

I'd be hard-pressed to find a worse medium for your ad.

I’ve never been invited to hotpot by a spammer before. I have so many questions.

Spammer: Hey, are you interested in our database of contacts for thousands of people in your industry? [Emailed to the address of someone who retired from our company in 2019.]

#WhyTF have I started getting marketing emails from #ANU College of Systems & Society, & WhyTF do I have a “donor profile”? FFS

PSA: Not from #AnPost. Easy to spot I guess but just in case you hear anyone asking "did you order something via an post", there's a bit of it going about at the moment. No doubt some will fall for it though. #sms #spam #phishing #smishing

Es scheint #SPAM im Namen von @Tutanota im Umlauf zu sein. Die Mail mit einer vermeindlich gesperrten Email im Anhang Man solle doch bitte den Anhang in einem Emailprogramm wie #Thunderbird oder #Outlook öffnen.

Die Mail landet im SPAM Ordner un behauptet, dass das genau so gewollt sei.

Zitat:
This notification email was delivered to your spam folder intentionally because emails that do not respect internet standards are most often spam.

Best,
Your Tuta team.

Am besten gleich löschen.

lol! Another “promoter” sent me to their website and this is what I found…

Latest “publishing” spam, in the form of clickbait:

—-
“Once your book reaches the market, you can expect to earn between $20,000 up to $300,000, depending on the negotiation and success of your book’s release.”
—-

They never mention the book.
They send a form letter.

"Hi, this is Joshua Martinez from the loan issuance department...."

May every pillow you rest your head on reek of cilantro and cat anus.

Classmates.com earns itself a mail ban.

I've never really used it.

I decided to unsubscribe from their shit emails. (Yes, yes, I should have done this years ago.)

They say it may take 10 days to process. I reply "fuck your 10 days."

Now they can no longer contact me, about anything whatsoever.

Bravo!

"Nicole from the loan processing team"

May the wind always be in your face, with odd bits of lint and candy wrappers getting caught in your hair.

Just found out about this SPAM can variant. Kinda cool tie-in with the new CGI Lilo & Stitch movie.

Couple of SPAM+movie commercials, too:

In den letzten Tagen ist eine betrügerische E-Mail im Umlauf, die vorgibt, von der Steuerplattform ELSTER oder sogar der „Deutschen Regierung“ zu stammen. Die Nachricht fordert Empfänger dazu auf, ein Formular über einen Link auszufüllen – angeblich, um eine Steuererstattung zu ermöglichen. Doch Vorsicht: Es handelt sich dabei um einen raffinierten Phishing-Versuch
