Spammer stuff-up

I just got a scam email asking me to look after $7 million. Nothing unusual… except they accidentally attached the list of emails they’re spamming. 496 addresses in a file headed “Email Spider Easy — Targeted Email Extract Expert”. It includes some addresses that look sort of familiar, like the ABC’s Afternoon Show, and the CSIRO reception. Weird.

    Ha! I got one the other day from Suha Arafat begging me for help - with link to bbc article to prove her legitimacy.

    ROFL!

    Thank fuck the spammers haven’t worked out my new email yet. I remain blissfully spam free. Won’t last.

    What, “spam@spam.com” is not your real email address?

    Oh, Rob, you perennial skeptic. I have 13.5 billion solid lead Tunarands which were bequeathed to me by Lord Schmedley Gurdley the 37th of the lost Fukari tribe. You can share in this wealth if you smear yourself in cranberry sauce and turn on your right heel three times whilst speaking the magic incantation ‘Nee Woo Walla Walla Bing Bang.” Please send your bank account details to me via certified email and your Tunarands will be trucked to you.

    spam@spam.com would be a ripper of an email. Some poor bastard from the Spam Museum is getting hammered with junk email directed at me.,
