Attack of the Killer Spam

Is it just me?

At the moment spam is being fired at me from all directions. At my normal address I have enticing emails offering me viagra - so many emails today that I’m wondering if they know something I don’t! The latest one that arrived a few minutes ago actually had pictures of the pills so I can now choose my favorite color. And bam…incoming….here’s another one. A lady in China wants me to invest. She apologizes for the curt tone of the email.

Over at my google account (google does a first rate job at isolating these splendid offers BTW, much better than my normal address) I’m received lots of emails in Chinese. I must admit - I’m curious as to what they say. How do you say viagra in Chinese?

And then there’s MySpace. I’ve received an enticing message to invite me to join a group called Blondes With Big Bottoms…lovely photo included.

What is the strangest spam message you’ve ever received? Do you receive spam messages on varied topics or does your inbox have a penis fixation (and associated problems!) like mine?

And the winner of a copy of either The Second Seduction or The Shadow - your choice is:

  1. I get spoof e-mails from e-bay and paypal saying that my password has been compromised and, unfortunately, one day I clicked on it, not knowing it was fake. It took me to a site that looked like paypal, so I provided my information, only to realize afterwards that this was a fake website and they probably already recorded my credit card information. So I had to call paypal and my credit card company. Ugh, I was so embarrased.


  2. Ali - don’t worry! I was caught by this, too. I arrived home jetlagged from the US and was checking my email. Luckily I managed to change my password before any damage was done. I was embarrassed, too! I told my credit card company I’d lost it in the US. Hanging head in shame…


  3. It’s always the damned penis thing! I don’t even have a penis … at least I didn’t the last time I checked!

  4. I always get creepy spam about sperm production. Makes me wonder about people. Do men really spent a lot of time thinking about how much sperm they produce outside of fertility issues?
