Russian "dating" spam in my inbox...
« on: April 09, 2006, 04:50:37 AM »
This showed up in my work email inbox;

"Dear Member of our Dating Site!

You`ve got new message from Olga 27 y.o. Russia
Please check your mailbox here:
http://myonlyjulia.info/XXXXXXXXdac/?"

One of the guys in my reserve unit actually fell for this a couple years ago, sent some girl in Russia $2700.  Unbelievable. People still fall for this crap?

You'll laugh, but I also get this kind of spam, even on my .ru mail accounts.

LOL. An e-mail adress from ras.ru, Russian Academy of Science, and they still send me this crap...

I wonder if you get any spam in Cyrillic. I get tons of spam in English, same amount in Cyrillic and some messages in Chinese from time to time. No Euro languages.

He should give me his e-mail adress so I'll remove him from the Evil Communist Spam database ;)

Wellllll, ok, now I know where it's coming from.

No, none of the emails have been in Cyrillic.  If they were I'd have no idea what they were about other than the 2 pics of the hot "Anna Kournakova"ish pics that came in the email.

Heck, I'll pay $2700 if they come pre-trained to overcome their "gag reflex".
