Vulgar one line spam
Seems that the spammers are sending around a lot of spam with just one line or maybe two.
I have heard a lot of “Update your Penis”, that is it all the message says.
I did an earlier article on “Your Life is Crap” which got a lot of searches and a lot of comments (for my fledgling blog).
Not sure what the fascination with updating male genitalia is, but if you do a search on Twitter for that line you can see the huge amount of people who are talking about getting that spam.
So, why does someone send around spam like that?
- Just to be vicious (there are people like that)
- To see how many bounce backs they get off the list to then mail something else to it
- To try to bring down someones servers (either from the spam received or the bounce backs)
- To prove to a possible other client that they can send out massive emails and get them received
I am sure we can come up with more reasons.
Please feel free to click around this blog to learn more about spammers, who they are, what they do and why.
Want more survey results for my Email Spam Survey, will only take a few minutes if you don’t mind.
