#spam emails

[mad-rieux]

I keep getting these spam ads, but I kind of save them. The ones with like the weird pictures. Because they're those fake emails where it's some "horny lady" looking for someone, but they have some really bad ai generated photo along with them. So it makes me feel like I've gone schizo and am being drip fed messages by the Handler from Cruelty Squad.

Well this just popped up on my screen. Yeah I've had a few of these kinds of emails claiming they recorded me through my webcam while visiting a porn site or something. To me they're just funny because I don't have a webcam.

Sometimes you'll get an email that has an actual password you use on it. Again there's no reason to panic - it just means a load of passwords have been leaked from somewhere (Playstation Network, for example) and whoever has gotten it is sending these automated messages to everyone on the list. If you ignore it, most likely nothing will happen, but if you are worried obviously just change your password.

Just as general rules, don't reply to anything if you don't know who the sender is, and definitely never give personal info to a stranger who contacts you - for example, someone claiming to be from your bank; if there's an issue you call them.

goddd i got a spam email where the plot is a guy is asking me to help him buy raw materials so he can produce pharmaceuticals with them and i am so so so curious about what kind of major Raw Material this fictional man is trying to convince me i am funding but i will never know because i am smart enough not to reply to spam emails

it's also just like, a really bizarre one because there is no appeal to emotions or attempt to build rapport. we're just rawdogging the business proposition without any mention of a tragic inheritance story or a cheating husband

Many beautiful women named oysmgjskakrjr tpgmdnfk are emailing me for my opinions on a pharmacy I haven't visited in years

The most annoying/idiotic spam emails for me are the ones from car insurers, because I don’t drive. Literally, I do not even have a driver’s license.

Know your damn audience.

I’ve just had the best spam email ever. Apparently Julius Caesar is out there somewhere and wants people to come and work for him lol

I ordered shoes a few months ago and i got a "we miss you" email from the company. Like dude, howboften do you think i buy shoes. I mean even taking my lower than average shoe buying tendancies I dont need to buy a new pair every three months. That's ridiculous, and encouraging overconsumption.

One of the surest signs that business executives are failing their way to the top is that every company you so much as order a toothbrush from thinks it's a sound marketing decision to email their customers multiple times per week, and then when people inevitably "update their email preferences" to tell the company never to email them again, they add more and more checkboxes to the email preferences page and say, oh well you never explicitly told us not to email you about toothpaste, because they only just added the toothpaste checkbox, so now you have to go uncheck the toothpaste box or just start marking all their emails as spam.

And it's not just retailers that do this! If I donate to your nonprofit, why are you punishing my donation with a constant barrage of spam? A few times a year, sure, send out a newsletter that actually has something to say. Anything more than that indicates to me that your nonprofit is dumping my donation into the bloated salary of some C-suite executive that spends half their day watching TED-X videos and the other half driving competent staff crazy by demanding they do stupid marketing schemes that will drive away donors.

oh yep i'm definitely going to open this totally legit email for with the subject line that is just "purchase order" followed by the date August 71st, 3073 (or possibly the 8th day of some 71st month that has yet to be invented)

that's definitely something that i, a guy whose job has nothing to do with ordering supplies from the current, let alone future years, will unequivocably download and open

Love when companies are like you need to prove you're not a robot to unsubscribe from the newsletter you did not consent to us sending you. Like hi buddy remember how you're not allowed to pull the subscribe without consent move anymore? Remember how that's a law now?

As your friendly neighbourhood IT elf, this is a reminder that if you get an email that feels wrong this time of year, i.e. about a purchase you don't remember making, do not click on the links in the email!

Come out of the email and navigate to the site directly to check your purchase history, or go check your banking information.

Making you click on a link is what these emails are designed to do, whether that's to trick you into downloading something without realising, or to make you fill in a form with your details/username and password.

If at any point you think an account has been comprimised, go directly to the site and change your password immediately! Let's all stay safe this winter 🩵
