Weird Spam Mail

[Olaf the Stout]

Lately in my Yahoo account I have been getting some very weird and strange spam. They are almost like bits of stories. I'm really not quite sure what to make of them. This is a sample:

Has anyone else got spam like this before? Are they trying to send a virus or something or is it just weird random crap?

I've recieved spam that looks something like that- usually its just a few opening lines to get a sales-pitch or scam past a spam-blocker.

The idea is that if something looks like authentic communication as opposed to a sales pitch, the blocker will let it pass.

Was there any other text in the emails? If not, it could be a virus instead.

Weird. I got one email full of gibberish myself. :\

It's just Cthulhu rising. I wouldn't worry about it.

Fnord.

Actually, I bet you could use those snippets to create an adventure. Admiral Steengo and his tachyometer, indeed!

No other text but there was a couple of jpegs attached. I didn't open them just in case.

Wierd. I never open emails form people I don't know. It's the paranoid internet security analyst's wife in me I guess.

It's just a sign of SkyNet's nascent intelligence and its attempts to communicate.
