Internet Defense Technology

Been awhile since I did a collection of email spam subject lines. I just put up the ones from very recently, might have fun to do a huge one, but that is too time consuming:

• How to communicate effectively via email
• Success is what your wear
• Global Orgasms for Peace
• A Pac-Man for your arteries
• IT consultant of perfect love making art
• Perk up your pecs
• Oi. You. Zombie Apocalypse. Now.
• Your mommy’s friends are weird (or all gay)
• Someone please for to helps me!
• Agents wanted: For CSI
• WORM CANNIBALISM TO GAIN MEMORIES OF DEAD WORMS
• Win $1000 a day
• You’ve got cash

Well, the spammers are definitely up on their news. They do seem to do a pretty good job of keeping track of what is talked about and trying to use it to their advantage.

Of course, if you haven’t heard that Barack Obama is our new president elect, then you might have been living under a rock.

However, as a heads-up, the spammers are using his name all over their subject lines to try and get people to click on the email and open it.

My advice as always, don’t click on the email and get your news from the right sources. Go straight to your favorite real news source (CNN, Yahoo News, Google news, MSNBC or whatever) and read up there.

Warning: This is a little bit of a rant, sorry.

It is great fun to watch the spam subject lines that people talk about on twitter. Just do a search on Twitter search for “spam subjects” (or click here).

Then there is going through my hotmail account and laughing at the stuff that makes it through their filter.

Then there is the spam I get on my facebook account, people forwarding those scammy alerts to their entire address book.

Also those people on facebook who don’t seem to understand that because I said once I couldn’t make their event, doesn’t mean that if you send me the invite again I will suddenly change my mind.

Also those new twitter followers who just post one tweet after another about their product, all with links back to their site.

Don’t even get my started on MySpace.

Seems every new system that goes up, someone works out how to spam it. People, learn to participate in the community, not abuse it!

Thought I would put up a few sample spam subject lines.

I hope this makes it easier for you to spot and delete the spam without opening it. There are some which are pretty obvious, but sometimes they try to put either a very confusing headline or something that sounds newsy.

Here you go:

• Love is a smoke made with the perfume of sighs.
• we’re in a recession, but you have a new mail from cupidista
• Obama shows McCain what a real debate should be
• Pull yourself together! Diabetes is not a sentence!
• If your whole life is shit, at least you can have a decent watch on
• Owen Wilson: The Latest News
• Malawi lauds Madonna for helping orphans
• Make 150k yearly selling mortgage protection
• Stock Markets claim more lives as plunges continue
• Forensic Scientists are needed in your area!

My favorite is the first one “maybe even you” is a cute touch as to why you are getting spam:

• Someone from your email address, maybe even you, had recently requested our vacancy list
• Make your babymaker hard as rock
• I have an obscured business transaction for you
• Cheney visits Afghan President, Shoots Him in the Face
• I want sale you rolex. Do you want one?
• Sperm-flavored cocaine all the rage in LA
• Huge Love Weapon is Never Too Much
• How’s the palo so far? I loved your blog about spain and the bumtapper. I laughed my head off
• The Technology of the HairMax LaserComb
• Angelina’s Newborn Twins Marry Each Other
• Parking domain names is about the same level as a baby seal hunter, ENLARGE-YOUR-PEN!S spam and Michael Bolton.
• Thousands of excellent anals from Congleton
• Make Your Love Wand Function Better.
• Britney Spears Shaves Head At Request of Zombie Overlord
• Britney Spears To Be Adopted By African Child
• Midget immigrant stowaways found in Lindsay Lohan’s gaping…
• What do Somalia, Long John Silvers and the U.N. have in common?

Not to be out-done here is a small collection of the Paris Hilton email spam subject lines:

• Paris Hilton Wins Pulitzer Prize
• Paris Hilton Sells Her Soul to the Devil, Admits it on Larry King
• Paris Hiltons vagina begins prison sentence
• Paris Hilton gives birth to twins… aliens
• Paris Hilton To Invade Rwanda
• Sponge Bob named in Paris Hilton paternity lawsuit
• Aliens Deny Impregnating Paris Hilton
• Stephen Hawking Defends Paris Hilton Against Sex Allegations
• George Bush Caught Naked with Paris Hilton.

This celebrity thing is definitely a new thing, just a few months ago there was not this much spam centering around the celebrities. Someone realized that most people are fascinated by them and thought could catch a few more people if targeted them.

I have seen several complaints of an email with the subject line: “Hey we have hijacked your baby but you must pay once to us $50000. The details we will send later.”

This is spam and totally fake (people who don’t have babies have gotten this email).

I am in shock that spammers would send an email with this headline. All to get an email opened.

I am so sorry if you got this email and it caused you even one second of worry or pain.

Seems to be a lot of spam email going around with Britney Spears doing all sorts of strange things. Seems ashame because she seems to finally be calming down and getting her life in order a little and now this.

Anyway, here are some fun, ridiculous samples for your enjoyment:

• Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt adopt Britney Spears
• Britney sues vagina for divorce
• Britney Spears to Join British Army
• Britneys vagina to attend AA on its own!
• Dalai Lama denies receiving fellatio from Britney Spears

• Britney Spears’ New Hair Extensions Are Lindsay Lohan’s Pubes
• Britney Spears is shaken but unhurt after a suicide bomb attempt
