Spam-Scam that deserves credit...sort of
December 24, 2009

It's interesting how this bends back on the distrust people already have of spammers...and despite the usual bad grammar, this is cleverly done, with lots of manipulative tactics I'm sure we've all seen. I'm glad my spam filter didn't squelch this one.

I fear for a future where a spammer who lacks scruples but also has decent grammar is unleashed upon the world. So far, that hasn't happened. But when it does? End of days, man. End. Of. Days.

They already have and they've been around before the internet.

Some ad executives blast their messages to the unsuspecting masses.

Some lawyers know whom to target in bogus litigation.

The world is already doomed!
