"the greatest spam"
|
I think this is the greatest spam email I've ever received. It's just... it's art. Since I can't set alt text on pictures inlined into forum posts like this, I'll note here that this is a screenshot of a spam email that seems to be from a hardware factory offering its services. It's way too long to quote verbatim as alt text, but the subject line should give you the flavor: "Re: Re: primarily D rings ,O rings ,rivets , grommets,eyelets,buckles,screws , harness ,wires ,bolts ,nuts ,clips ,bits ,spurs supply ?" (spacing and... unique... comma placement ideas original) "We have profuse designs with series quality grade, and expressly." I'm sure you do. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

The part I find arresting is the sheer specificity of it. It is, after all, not unreasonable that a company or even some individuals might be in need of one or more of such metal bits in such quantity and/or having special requirements, and so working directly with a manufacturer would make sense. However, the chances that any given recipient of the email is such a person? It's not like your typical 'Nigerian prince' email, where you can at least safely assume that the recipient wants money, and so you just have to determine if they're gullible. Kinda reminds me of some ads I've seen for industrial hardware on youtube, or maybe the ones that are like 'tinkertoys for adults'. Are your customers really going to be watching old speedruns of older video games? -IA. (received information not interpretable) |
