Strange email (spam for sex)

January 16th, 2009

This is a sort of follow up post on the previous entrymade by “TinfoilHatMan”.

Spammers can be… oh so creative… ;-)

Apparentlly I have an ad on a dating site???
She seems pretty needy… or insatiable??
Of course I can’t do a reply from the original email because… well, IT’S SPAM!!!!

Instead, let’s use a real account where I can get lured into disclosing more information… or simply confirm my email address really exists. Either way, this type of spam may appeal to single guys who are really desperate to fulfill their needs and this lady’s…
