African Spam Aimed at Indians
Posted by Vijay Pattisapu on July 21, 2008 3:20 pm
Been getting many mails like this recently. Interesting trend this, parsing email addresses for possible characteristics of the recipient (e.g., "Vijay" --> Indian). The subject lines always give me a good lawl, even though the all-caps means business.
Someone should curate a "best hits" or something of African spam -- kind of like how they started housing graffiti in museums in the 80s.
