Spammers still thick - official

I just received an e-mail purporting to be from Champ.

And I might have believed it (for a nano-second) if it weren't for the fact
that the subject line was just a load of gibberish...

Oh. Hold on. Maybe I've just deleted a real e-mail...

In uk.rec.motorcycles, WavyDavy belched forth and ejected the following:

I just received one from myself!

The header and subject was my email/ username but the body contained
three numbers "967"

That was it. Nothing else. nada.

Strange indeed.

 

0wn3d.

 

Hah. But no, not from me.

 

Beat you! "I" sent myself "5556". From France. Mail was bounced
to forthwith.

Whinging Courier came up with the following;:

Mine purported to also come from me with a subject of 455 and body with 969.

I wonder if it's a coded conspiracy?

Dunno but my subject line was 1545453 so mine is bigger than yours,
fnerr.

I didn't look inside.

 

I just received 57657 in the subject line but the body said simply 5556.

It must mean _something_ ?

PAHHHNND!???!!

 

The internet is waking up.

 

I had about 50 of them yesterday, with about 3 different numbers in the body
texts.

 

I appear to have one too.

Unfortunately it's in some form of Arabic / Cyrillic script

Which one then, as Arabic and Cyrillic are nowhere near alike.

 

No idea, just a bunch of squiggles.

So, not Cyrillic then, but could be Arabic. Or Urdu. Or Thai. etc.

When I see the std 'bunch of squiggles' all it means to me is that I don't
have the right font to see what they should *actually* look like. So it
could be Cyrillic if he hasn't got the font to decode it....

Err - no. In that case he would see the ascii single-character
equivalent of the double-byte character set.. which may or may not
include various accented characters.

Phil

 

Actually, you may be right, it does look a bit Thai
