This one slipped through the GMail spam filter which is usually quite excellent, so this particular spammer either got lucky or has some admirable spamming skills – if you’re another spammer that is! With the “get rich quick” schemes about as evergreen as it gets, this kind of day trading stuff may never go away [...]

For a “Barrister,” which I believe is the term they use for an attorney in the U.K., I’d have to say the grammar in this e-mail message is pretty pathetic. Of course I have no illusions that this was sent by an attorney. More likely it was sent by some low-life scam artist hunched over [...]

Apparently I should not wait too long to check out the websites that scumbag scam artists like this one are attempting to promote. Upon clicking on the link to see exactly what kind of get-rich-quick scam this one was, I was met with a  “Server Not Found” message. The obviously-bogus website that was using the [...]

These scam artists are really grasping at straws. The internet link they provided leads to a story of a couple of U.S. soldiers in Iraq who supposedly stumbled upon a fabulous treasure worth $700 Million back in 2003. I guess those of us that receive this message are supposed to believe that the guys that [...]

Although it’s not completely clear, this one looks as though the author is pretending to be a female who is trying to trick males of the species into opening an attachment that accompanies this spam. I’m not sure what the fake “Facebook” in the “From:” line is all about. Maybe the author figures that using [...]

Spam is never sent out just because spammers are bored. There’s always a purpose behind a spam e-mail message. It could be fairly “innocent” (by comparison) and is just an advertisement that’s trying to convince you to buy a certain product. As many internet users already know, popular products promoted by spammers include drugs (Viagra, [...]

I see we and our friends “across the pond” seem to be suffering from some of the same annoying afflictions. In this case, it’s text message spam. This appears to be something that has taken off only in the last few years since I’ve had a cell phone for at least 10 years and took [...]

I can’t believe this “Microword” nonsense is still being used by spammers. I don’t know how many times I have seen this one, but even so, it appears there may have been changes in names and dates that make posting this crap worthwhile. I suppose it’s reasonable to conclude that there are many internet users [...]

The FedEx spam has been around for a long time as well. It’s hard to believe these spammers will still mention the “N word” – which in this case means Nigeria – in their messages. I thought by now that every human being on the planet with a computer or a television would know that [...]

Here we go again! In addition to the storm of B.S. coming from spammers pretending to be from the FBI, NSA and Treasury Department, I guess I should have expected something from some idiot claiming that he’s the Homeland Security Department. This one does get a bit of credit for entertainment value since the bit [...]
