Spam

[del320]

I've just cleared out 30 odd crucial messages from my web-based e-mail address's junk folder and was idly thinking: who in their right mind would fall for any of this rubbish and would even entertain opening stuff from individuals going by names such as:

Margarito Paulson; Akiko Ifyheqzo; Jordan Gallegos; Mariano Crabtree; Nolan Ewjhye; Ahmed Mcmahon*; Aldo Khammixay; Ronda Soto; Rubright Elouise; Cecil Oremapoc; Zaniboni Shizue; Ursula Schaefer; Tyree Lockett; Francoise Ukjnal; Zike Clinton; Johnette Miroxjsj; Carlo Jaramillo; Wilber Ifefipax; Ozell Panas; Orpha Ybuco; Elissa Ywimunuc; Bobby Axjymq.

Can it really be worth some organisation's time and effort generating these millions and millions of guffy messages and clogging up the interweb?

I'm a simple sod - explain it to me like I'm a 5 year old! Should I be getting out more, meeting interesting people?

Only if your mummy says it's OK...

If only one in a million gets tucked up, then its worth it. sending the messages is free, so ANY payback is profit. These are mainly sent out by individuals and as such, these people view their time as more of a hobby which may give them a return. Very, very occasionally they stumble across an internet virgin who is also a complete bozzo who makes their time much more profitable.
