If there's one good thing about spam, it makes me laugh.
Email Screenshot Theater
Spam is really annoying, but when I read some of it, it totally cracks me up. Most of the small amount of spam I get automatically gets picked off by SpamAssassin, and stuck into a seperate folder that I clean out now and again. Since I actually use a decent mail client running on linux, I don't really have much worry with getting infected with all the malicious crap floating around. You can tell most of these things are directed at the computer unsavvy, because anyone with half a clue on how the internet or computers work would just look at the email and laugh... like I'm doing! Let's start the show! Actually, now that I think about it, these are all virus emails, but some of the spam stuff is really funny. Anyway, here goes.
I got this first one at work the other night, and looking at the message TOTALLY made me want to open the attachment!
The total machine-language garble look always makes me want to read on! The next one cracked me up because it was trying to make it look like it was an offcial notice from my WEBMAIL SYSTEM at www.neir.org.
Well, there is no webmail system. And the link links to something in the attachment, which happens to be a nice .scr file, probably designed to do nasty things. The third might be the best though.
OMG! ON THE LAST FRONTIER OF FREEDOM YOU HAVE VISITED ILLEGAL WEBSITES!! I HAVE THE LIST AND UNCLE SAM WILL CHECK IT TWICE! I love the from email address... "abuse@gov.us". Classic.
These screenshots were brought to you by the following tip I found while searching for some documentation on Fluxbox shortcut keys. You'll need ImageMagick isntalled to use it, but this will give you the ability to take a screenshot in Fluxbox without needing to load anything else. This will make a nice png screenshot in the directory you specified, complete with a timestamp of when it was taken. Nifty stuff. Just put the following in your keys file and edit to your tastes, and you'll be set.
Control Print :ExecCommand import -window root `date +/dir/ss.%Y%m%d.%H%M%S.png`
YOU NEED THIS NOW
Wow, another great spam email that floated its way into our helpdesk. Check this one out... I've removed all references to their website, because these assholes don't need any more exposure than this.

More Spam Hilarity
This came into the help desk system this morning, and it totally cracked us up. It probably wouldn't have shown up in a normal mail reader because the HTML attachment contained the actual spam, and this part was just in there to throw off the spam detection software. The sentence structure is "right", but the words are totally wrong, which is what makes it so funny.
carpet tack toward hides, and waif behind pig pen derive perverse satisfaction from fruit cake over. Most cream puffs believe that defined by inferiority complex eat cough syrup about. For example, insurance agent for paper napkin indicates that girl scout defined by cab driver pee on related to photon. Theron, although somewhat soothed by cloud formation over and chessboard related to. Most alchemists believe that gonad beyond cargo bay bur toward warranty. But they need to remember how wisely for sheriff returns home.
I can't make this stuff up...
I just got this email, and thankfully it was caught as spam. I really can't understand what the point of this is.

I wish spamassasin had a "Totally Fucking Stupid" rule... I would make it the most heavily weighted anti-spam rule on my server. And... if I really wanted a papercut, I'd use a nice American piece of paper, well versed in the ways of freedom. Who needs a communist papercut anyways? You cut your finger, and pretty soon it'll want to cut your whole hand. Laff.

I just saw this image come into our help desk system at work... it was attached to one of those AOL/Ebay/whatever scams where they trick people into thinking that their billing information needs to be reentered or something of the like. After seeing this image, I have to wonder how stupid people are to fall for these scams? This photoshop work could have been better done by a jellyfish.
I've got some updates to make, but I've got to get some work done before I enter them. I just couldn't wait to post this one.
