I just got this spam... WTF???
The title was "Write back please"

This is the text:

unconcernedly squads burdening terminologies
iris ordinarily attache
perceivers integrals inconvenient
nominative spends peccary spoils length
trooper breasts confiscation indescribable
stupidities Thayer resoluteness
inscribed Borg haddock
McGregor Medfield inductive ingeniously retraced
biased Halverson Caucasians aloe

--- end ---

What the hell are they trying to sell? They didn't post a link or anything! :shrug:

7. Probably not.
I get these all the time, and view everything just for the heck of it. Actually, they never get to me, since I travel a lot and want full time email address, I have a paid Spamcop account.

10. I understand that.
But why try to confuse a filter if you have nothing to sell?

It's like dropping a bomb with no explosive in it.

3. They're idiots
forget it. It's common. They rely on automated software and don't bother to give appropriate input.

5. Yum, inscribed borg haddock! Makes one hell of a sandwich.
When you're making a BLT, use it instead of bacon and you'll thank me later.
