1. I especially love the breast enlargement ones ...

Since I'm already a natural 38D ... :eyes:

I think I should send them back a photo and have them hire me as a spokesmodel.


:silly:

4. Me too.

I don't need no stinking pills

[SarahB]

6. Me three.

How about a pill to give to men to make them look me in the eye?

7. You've Got MY Attention

Especially when the words '38D' and 'photo' are used in the same sentence.

10. Down boy.

:D

[hippiechick]

11. Oh yeah did I mention I have a 140 IQ ?

Odd how guys never want to see a pic of that ... :P


:hippie:

14. Oooooh...post your SAT scores...

*pant, pant*

Hehehe...

[Sporadicus]

15. I Do!

I think smart women are great! I kid about the physical attributes, but intellect always has been my primary area of interest.

2. Especially since...

my email address makes it very clear I'm male.

3. "Your mortgage application has been approved."

We just need a few more details.

5. I've Never Received the Nigerian Funds Scam

but I've gotten a LOT of the 'we need verification of your account number / SSN / credit card number' variety...from banks where I don't even HAVE an account. Oddly enough, I've been getting them at my work computer - not the one at home. I think our corporate server needs tweaking of its spam filter.

13. It's the "WAMU/Suntrust/Ebay/Paypal" scum

And they keep sending that crap no matter how many times you report their asses.

I say if * wants his mandate, we insist that he take out Romania (where most of it comes through)

8. "Christian Debt Consolidation"

I guess I can get out of debt...and accept Jesus at the same time!

Woo Hoo! :-)

17. That's my favorite!

The penis enlargement thing is SO 20th Century. :)

And besides, I'm a woman.

9. "You have unclaimed money waiting for you"

I got one that said something to that effect the other day.

WOW. Free money I knew nothing about. That is terrific.... :eyes:

12. RE: you are about to become an ordained minister!

16. My favorite are

the ones that are nothing but random words or passages from stories. WTF are they trying to sell? I can only assume there used to be something there but after MailScanner, SpamAssassin, ClamAV and Thunderbird get done with it anything other than the random stuff has been removed, although they're never tagged by MailScanner as having malicious code so I just don't know.

Maybe someday I'll set up a spam honeypot that's totally unfiltered and see what kind of stuff other people actually end up seeing.

18. Actually

Random quotes from books or stories is how they (the spammers) get past spam filters. Since its not random and actually look like a real letter / message.

The spammers usually hides it with HTM code, so you can't read that part; however, Thunderbird won't let HTML execute until you give it permission to do so.
