I hate spam but it makes me laugh

Its true, I hate spam like anyone does, but sometimes it makes me smile, spammers never give up and the different tactics they try, it fasinates me to watch and yes I smile when i come across some bizarre / clever / plain dumb spam. But I hate it as much as to say its one more chore to do.

I remember saying not long ago, I dont get too many spam emails, a few to my junk email box daily, but I use outlook express, so the majority of emails are blocked before getting to outlook express inbox/junkmail box. It wasn't long after that I took it back, as I went on my internet email account and found a mass of spam emails in my junk box. I seem to always forget about this bulk of emails, I'm not one for deleting junk mail, I let it mount up then when it gets to extremes then I delete, I don't touch my online internet account much, its hassel and a chore I don't like.

Check out the number of emails in my junk email box and thats not as much as usual.










Junk emails I have recieved, are all spam, alot of possible scams if taken further, phishing, snooping, trojan, viruses etc, the threats go on and on ( well if I was foolish enough to open or respond).

Heres a few


A possible trojan, worm, virus in an email which is disquised as a security report from the elusive 'customer support service'. These make me laugh, no legit security updates are by email. Though I can understand how people fool for this type of spam, and open the file.













Congratulations youve won, 'but I dont remember entering any competition' , if you don't remember entering anything then the obviously its a scam. You dont get cash for nothing. Come on, even the legit national lottery you have to buy a ticket and a lifetimes amount of tickets/ There is no excuses to fool for this, this is like the scams sent to the elderly, but I'm guessing its not the elderly who fool for this type of email. The spelling is worse than mine, on this blog, the spelling is a major giveaway.





I love this scam email, money transferring but surprisingly not from nigeria, infact its from london or they say it is at least. Targeting those with foreign accounts, foreigners. Im no foreigner neither do I have a foreign account. This just illustates how automated spam sending is, though I wonder on what listings they got my email, it didnt work this time, I dont come close to being the right target for this scam.



Even as I write this post, watchdog is talking scams, online and off.
3 billion is conned out of UK residents a year by scams.
1 -15 people are victims of scams.
And the main age group who fool for scams are 33-45 years old- I can believe that. And thats on watchdog at 7.18 pm.
