You Have 482 New Messages!

Once in a great while I find myself looking through my inbox for a website registration confirmation or a forgotten password reminder/reset. While most of the time my spam filter knows that I want to look at these things, occasionally one gets held hostage by my junk folder and I find myself wandering into that mess of e-mails. Fortunately, due to the nature of these kinds of e-mails, I don’t often have to look far. It’s usually the most recent item I need; and this situation should be familiar to everyone. However, in my most recent visit to my junk folder, I stopped longer than intended and checked out some of the blatantly obvious spam I was receiving.

I don’t know how it is for most people, but I get well beyond shitloads of it every day. This is likely the product of having the same email address since the nineties and signing up for who knows how many newsletters and websites since then. Among my junk there are things that I generally would expect to find in just about anyone’s junk folder: 101 flavors of penis enlargement ads, long-lost hot female friends who want to reconnect and probably get naked on webcam for me, account notices for World of Warcraft or Diablo 3 or some other game that I don’t play, and requests for help from Nigerian relatives.

Among the more common ones, I noticed some that were less expected. Some of them were targeted at old people, which may be a bit of my own doing, while others completely baffled me. What could I have signed up for to eventually get on a list to receive that?! My e-mail address has likely been bought and sold more times than I can count, and while I was wondering what it might be like to get a cut of that over the years (since they are selling something that’s mine, after all) I came up with another idea….

With inspiration from none other than yours truly, I decided to collect some of these junk e-mail subjects from the past week's worth (My junk folder lifespan) and put them all in a post for the enjoyment of everyone. Unlike my other thread though, this is something you all can participate in as well, assuming you receive junk mail. And if you don’t, feel free to complain about being left out. I’d like to see some of the really odd junk mail subjects that all of you have received. So go make that journey into the land of too-enticing-to-actually-be-true e-mails and come back with your best/strangest/most out of place-iest selections.

Here are mine that I felt were strange, interesting or maybe went the extra mile (or couple of inches) further than similar e-mails to get my attention:

I have a couple throw away hotmail addresses for anything I need to sign up for. I NEVER use my actual gmail account except to email people. But in the last year or so my hotmail addresses have been completely over-run by spam. To the extent that whenever I sign in, it says my account is being blocked.

Apparently
Someone may have used your account to send out a lot of junk messages or done something else that violates the Microsoft services agreement.


Fortunately, I can still use it to sign up for things and register.

I'm convinced, though that I didn't have a truly significant problem with spam with my main register hotmail until I used it to sign up for Facebook. (Although that's a few years back already.)

Hrmmm i have eggs in the fridge.
The only interesting one i got recently was claiming that my runescape account has been hacked and if i don't fix it i will be named in a law suit for gold farming. That one was a bit more creative than the others.

I don't get any interesting spams either. The ones I got currently are all from universities saying they wish for me to enroll etc (really regret signing up for that) and from facebook, which I don't use. I suppose I'll start blocking facebook. I do that when I get more college spam that hasn't been already blocked. But ffs I could have sworn I'd blocked Drexel University multiple times by now.

Oddly just checked my mail and 15 new spams (directly into the spam folder) over the past week (not that much I guess)

Basically they all (and always) are:

- Some game account action requires (half of the games I've never even played)
- Random banks saying my account/card is blocked
- Best medicine online
- Some gambling stuff guaranteeing 300% something.

I do the same thing, but instead of using a dummy email, I just make new temporary addresses as needed. Some random site making you register for something? Open a new tab, make an address with random information, register with the address and let it expire.

Like many other posters, better test if I can crack an egg.

It would be interesting to create a bunch of throwaway accounts and use each one once on a well known website and then see whether the accounts end up getting any spam emails.
