What is this kind of spam? What it mean?

[Revawter]

What does it do? I received this e-mail, and I received them before. Just a bunch of nonsensical words. Why? I have never understood it.

And no, there were no attachments. :)

I don't know but would like to also - I have received them several times - I end up just deleting them

[Fidget]

I get these all the time. Sometimes I take them as screwy phophetic horoscopes but generally it's a spammer that forgot to insert the ad for penis pills or hot lesbian cats

[ariel36]

Usually, it's attached to a mime message as well. At least that's what happens when I get them. it's just a way to try to by-pass spam filters. They put in a bunch of words that the filter reads (without anything like pharmacy, cialis, etc.) in there, and it bypasses the filter. You either got one where they forgot to attach the other portion of the message (the real spam part) or your email filter doesn't show it.

Hey, pm me the link for your voting thingy (I have siggys turned off - my dial-up can't handle loading them).

They are kinda amusing.. but pretty goofy! I was just always curious about them. :)

Hot lesbian cats! Heee!

That's an attempt to screw with the spam filter. Many spam filters today use a Bayesian statistical algorithm in order to try to tell the difference between spam and legitimate e-mail. By inserting a bunch of random words a spammer can keep his message from getting filtered out. That is one of the disadvanatges of Bayesian filters is that if you vary the e-mail it won't fit the profile of any of the existing e-mails and it will assume it's good.(at least it should otherwise you will have a lot of false positives) Generally something like that is going to have a link in it. Even if there is no link to the offending website there may be a web beacon, a small 1x1 image, to let the spammer know you read his junk. That's one of the reason you should have images off by default when reading email.

Okay, you are just making that shite up, right? OMG, so there IS a reason to never open this junk, because if you do, they can tell?

Wow, dude, you need to start a THREAD here where we can all ask you questions! Because I have so many, like why oh why is Yahoo letting so many Ugandan ministers of finance and widows with bazillions of dollars to sneak out of their countries USE YAHOO to recently flood my inbox - not my junk but my INBOX, with their pleas for help?

[pambanter]

Oh, and thanks for asking this question, Rev. :cheer7:

The subject line was "Disappointed".. I thought I had made someone sad! :laugh:

Well I voted for you, and although those other rooms are fun, I guess, I don't think they are very tasteful or nursery-ish. I thought YOURS was elegant, restful, fun, quirky. I LOVE the light fixture's effects.

I don't mean to be rude, because it is clear that those other people put ALOT of time and work and creativity and effort into their designs, but I think yours is the best hands down.

[LifeIsBeautiful]

It's also a form of phishing. They want you to reply to them telling them to stop sending their crap..meanwhile they have established the fact that it is a legitimate email address.

Thank you very much. It's nice to read after being slagged in the eBay forums. :worry:

[dippitydoo]

Thanks for the voting reminder! I voted for you - :gvibes:

[straycat]

:frown3: I've never gotten spammed by hot lesbian cats..
I'm so depressed! :worry:

[carcon]

Sometimes when I get those after opening in a few minutes they change to a place to buy prescription drug s, it will just flash and then read differently. I think it's a way to disguise stuff that may be illegal

[Revawter]

OK, next question..

Has anyone ever gotten an Email from someone wanting to buy some weird machine? Like a time travel machine? I got an email like that once, and I told the guy I had one, and would sell it to him for 2 million dollars. He wanted proof. So I covered my dog in tinfoil and mailed him a pic of that. He didn't believe it was a time travel machine.

I haven't gotten one of those emails in ages.. but I always wondered what was up with those too! :sherlock:
