Russian Spam

[jgbrowning]

I just started getting spam in Russian about a month ago and it's all been the same old, same old: porn, medicine, etc...

However,

I just got one today about heavy, industrial trucks like dump trunks, diggers, etc... that's one strange thing to spam... I have to think the audience is rather small.

Maybe they're trying for _any_ sort of response...

Just a guess, but maybe it's a practical joke. I've seen a lot of spam that isn't actually trying to sell something, but rather to annoy the recipient. Did you check out the link or whatever to see what dumptrucks were available?

Some site called "EN World" is constantly spamming me with offers for "reported posts." It's quite annoying. This "Morrus" guy should hope he never meets me in person.

You should block that punk's e-mail address.

Hmm. Has he offered you any Viagra yet? Oh, excuse me, V!agra, since that's what usually gets offered to me.

Is that a euphamism for something?

Heh, here's the images....

I think I'm tending to agree with Crothian.... I wouldn't be surprised.

I used to work with a guy who had a fondness for train cabooses. He used to joke that it was really, really difficult to find websites devoted to actual train cabooses, and not people's posteriors!

Still, that is one bizarre-o Spam alright.
