It just kills me that someone would think a message about discount Viagra with it spelled “V!AGKRA” would be anywhere near legit, and isn’t (for example) a blackmail scheme.
“Dear Moron, thanks for admitting you have erectile issues. To keep your name from being featured in our next series of spams, send $1000 to this address.”
I also keep getting regular spams with “(insert subject here)” on the Subject line, which means someone fired up their spamming software without filling in the whole form for their database.
…and if you want creative ripoffs, put a car up for sale on the net. I had a guy who was “representing a client who wants the car shipped to him, and wants more info on the car.” It’s a 1974 Super Beetle worth about $500, so the odds of someone wanting this car shipped anywhere border on the pathetic.
The fun part for me is that the manufacturing site that I work at actually makes one of the big three ED drugs. Anyone in my company will get the prescription filled for free, but yet the spammers hit my work email about 100 times a day.
I have yet to unterstand why if my name is featured in the email address and it’s a feminine name why someone would think I’d be interested in their product.
I just delete and mark as junk anything that doesn’t come from an email address that is familiar.
If I make a mistake, sorry, but I don’t want ED people sending me emails, snail mail or telephone calls.
Could you just imagine the calls from the ED people that you might get right at dinner time. Better yet when your 82 year old mother answers the phone or even your 14 year old daughter. It’s enough to consider not answering the phone again, ever!
Hehe. That caterpillar line is hilarious.

I’m Bob Dole and Bob Dole thinks you should lay off the Viagra jokes. I mean I’m Bob Dole, dammit.
We make Spam here in Minnesota…it makes a pretty good hot dish but I don’t think I’d give up my soc to get some…
