  • Yes it is. I think it's because some of the stuff is to get around filters. But subject matter is just way out there, too. I always wonder 1. Who needs this stuff their selling 2. Who is dumb enough to get it from a spam email. I guess if they send out 1,000,000 and 0.1% respond, it's still 1000 sales.
  • For example, the one I got today: Can you send me a picture? the web-site?- from Virginia Blood How wonderful! Thank you!

  • Same level of odd to me. As a female divorce lawyer...I am kind of PROUD to be a daily recipient of the prick enlargement spams. I'm like: no thank you, my brass d%@k is mighty large alREADY!
  • I'm sure it is getting worse. I've received spam emails that consist of 3 paragraphs of gibberish. At first glance I think it is supposed to look like an email from a friend or something, but really it is as if someone took random words from a dictionary and made it into a paragrpah in no order. There wasn't even any advertisement or links to anything! it was just gibberish!
  • The main reason it is getting so weird and outlandish is so that it can attempt to slide through any spam filters in place. Because the e-mails are so random, the filters are unable to determine whether the e-mail is legitimate or not.
  • To me it doesn't matter if it got odder, I can't stand spam mail. The majority of the ones I am getting recently actually make no sense at all. Worse yet, the ones that do, now start with an apology notice like "sorry if you don't like these type of emails but if you like, we have a great deal for you....", and then try to sell me crap. Spam mail is simply one of the worst aspects of the internet.
  • yes yes yes! it is so painful! please go away and leave me alone!!!!
  • Well, I have no intention of being stupid enough to buy anything through a SPAM email -- just bad all the way around for so many reasons (legal, moral, monetary, scams, etc., etc., etc.)... But all that aside: What serious buyer would want to do business with someone who can't spell anyway? Bad grammer and spelling doesn't fly on legit advertisements, or resumes, or proposals. It really makes me wonder about the people who actually fall for SPAM.
  • I know what you mean, i usually get some stock market spams urging me to buy specific stocks but the words or disformed and the rest of the passage doesn't make sense. This is because many e-mail services provide spam filters which search e-mails for key words that show that they're spam. HEnce, the people who send these e-mails need to find clever ways of bypasing the filters, such as placing words out of order and spelling incorrectly on purpose
  • meh, my spam is the same old spam, nothings changed, i once in a while get a sprinkle of home advertisement.
  • It is getting (by necessity) more CREATIVE to get past all the spam filters Internet mail providers have as well as the spam filters that people buy for their email programs. Text from novels at the bottom of a page and other things are used today for spammers to try to sneak past the spam filters, who obviously are looking for offensive language, and commonly used spam or undesireable email subject words like sex, curse words, XXX, sell, sale, buy, nude, etc.
  • lol yea it is!! i got one advertising how to make a penis bigger.. hmm
  • Odder ? Indeed, and far more of it. Maybe if i get the right share market tip with the spam emails then i can buy the viagra from the spam emails and then get off on the sex site spam emails. Sound like a plan ?
