no.50 - Crap Spam
For the past 48 hours I have been receiving a new kind of spam - the ugliest I have seen yet. It's hit all my mailboxes without discrimination or notice of who it is meant for. It is a small message selling nothing. It says, simply this:your life is crap
At first glance, it would seem that someone is sending me a terrible judgment about what I have come to. No punctuation, just a rotten little statement, stripped of any frills. It's negative, thoughtless and inconsiderate, nearly to the point of sociopathology.
This callous message is designed to upset and prey upon anyone who might answer. The spammer knows that if he sends enough of these messages out, eventually he is going to hit home with a few miserable souls.
The "your life is crap" message, it nothing more than a taunting scout, goading an answer — any answer. All the spammer wants from you is confirmation that your e-mail is real and active so he can get to the business of real spam about "male enhancement", cheap pharmaceuticals, and online casinos.
At worst it will alert the spammers to another batch of the internet gullible, leading a tiny few down the path of stolen credit card numbers and emptied bank accounts. At best, it will have made everyone's day just a little bit worse.
If you are listening (and your probably aren't) there is one thing you should know my hateful little spamming friend, and I hope the irony hits you in the head like a frying pan: your life is crap.

your life is crap :)
Wow I just got that post! God bless you for your post otherwise I'd be fucked. I just finished watching the Zodiac and the minute it's over I get this email from fendermation.com that says my life is crap.
What an amazing blog, Thank you very much for your post and for your idea about 1000 demons! Wow.
I was wondering if this one was the start of yet another vyril email. After a little investigation into it I've come across the same deduction as yourself, spammer taunt.
You would think these people would actually find something better to do with there time, but apparently not. The world is becoming more shallow every day, Its good to see a few people trying to spread the word about these emails to let individuals know what the real story is behind them, so that if a email hits home with a address thats similar to someone they may write or a company they may deal with, they know the true intention of the message.
Just got the "life is crap" Spam too...
...obviously soneone knows me too well...but not enough because "their life is crapper than mine" :o)
Anonymous says, I think that the person that wrote this is not a very good person and is so miserable that they want to spread it around. Do you believe in Karma? You've just created some bad Karma for your self.
