BIZARRE SEXUALLY ORIENTED SPAM SUBJECT LINES
Every one of the spam senders in this informal survey is tryingâin the hope that you wonât immediately press the delete keyâto entice you into checking out their messages and purchasing their products. In that process, they will sometimes deliberately (but not always delliberately) misspell words in the subject lines of their spams in order to bypass any electronic filters you happen to set up.
A friend writes to me, âI just upgraded to AOL 9 which has a feature that takes out spam before it gets to you. Theoretically you submit and save a list of words you donât want in your subject lineâin my case some are Viagra, Xanax, cheerleaders and mortgagesâthen voila ! But, as always, the spammers are one step ahead. Now Iâm getting spam for Viagara, Xannax, cheer leaders and mort.gages. I donât know why they think Iâd do business with anyone whose spelling skills were so faulty, but I guess their target audience may not care.â
And from another friend: âHas anyone had a problem with blocked e-mail? I have had fully one-third of my mail blocked by my ISP that is running Nortonâs âBarracuda Spam Firewall.â Phooey ! It blocks e-mail from friends and newsletters
but lets the porn, Viagra and âgrow your penis pillsâ through. I am ticked! Anyone else all of a sudden not hearing from friends?â
Meanwhile, federal agents have arrested a man for repeatedly making death threats against employees of an Internet advertising firm. He faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted. He had mistakenly believed that the company was the source of unsolicited e-mail ads he received
