What are some of the more bizarre bits of spam you have received, whether through emails or comments?
Well let me see I use Mailwasher Pro to clean my ISP based inbox out, my gmail, hotmail, yahoo all take care of themselves and I got checkers for them all so I know if I get new e-mail anyway.
Let me just grab some stats of the e-mail from the last 4 weeks...
Spam : 1416
Legitimate E-mail: 136
Spam e-mail is on processing bounced, deleted from my isp inbox, the e-mail address or domain (if I choose to add that) is added to my ever growing blacklist of junk e-mail.
Now since I got the Pro version I can report all of them but when I do I get a 2nd e-mail back telling me to click-a-link to finish reporting and it gives me an idea where the spam came from as well, I ONLY now do this for spam that "appears" to be from my subdomain i.e from me.
I've reported 29 pieces of e-mail this way I used to report them all but that gave me loads of work even using the tabbular functionality of Firefox it was a bind doing the find the report button using the text on the line below, clicking it, ctrl + tab to move tab, f3, repeat ad-nauseum.
Now as to what the spam contained..
If I replied to 1/10 I'd have a few million $$$'s in loans, enough "drugs" to keep me going for oh 10 years "solid" if you'll pardon the pun..
Software coming out of my ears, pump n dump stocks galore etc, etc...
I do have a personal website using my ISP provided webspace and I have a Guestbook there, which for some reason stopped e-mailing me when a new comment was added so I didn't know when comments were added I checked it one day and well hmmm 30 comments for "crap" were there all very similar as well, deleted and moderation turned ON.
when I had a Tag-board a while back I got SPAMMED on that as well :| so took it down got money back etc..
okay Im done I think..
