What is the whackiest spam you've ever received?

[Baitball Blogger]

The Nigeria scams and the penile extenders don't count.

I just received a unique one tonight. It is an invitation to the 13th annual Ozark Breeder's Association. How did I get phished for that?

4. If you can't beat 'em...

make fun of it in the Lounge

[Art_from_Ark]

2. I occasionally get spams from addresses like [e-mail]

containing some offer to work for big bucks doing something that sounds like it's not quite on this side of the law, written in poor English, and signed by *Robert Jones* , or some other made-up English-sounding name.

5. I never open those.

Too afraid that opening them will just send a flag to someone, and more will come my way.

Like picking up a phone call that has an Unknown I.D.

3. My fave is...

(Insert sexy sounding name) has unlocked her private photos and videos and requests you do the same.

I don't think she's talking about the video of Eddie Murphy singing "Kill The White People" tho.

6. I don't remember that performance from Eddie.

Certainly, though, I do remember his Miley Cyrus provocative era.

16. It was on Saturday Night Live

An almost-all-white VFW hall hired Tyrone Green and his Reggae Band to play the Banana Boat Song. Instead they played Kill the White People, which contains this verse:

We sing bout freedom and equality
But that don't matter we just want money, money
We gonna ride round in big black limousines
And get so high on ganga we can't even see

7. Without the Nigeria/Ghana and PE Scams

I got nothing.

10. Lucky you!

[Xyzse]

13. Maybe it is because I just don't pay attention

Either way... Any business that solicits me through email is a business I will avoid.

11. What scares me about emails like this one...

is that they wouldn't exist if someone wasn't taking it seriously.

[Phentex]

14. Sad but true...

ya gotta wonder.

[LibertyLover]

19. Just to set your mind at ease

in case you were wondering if this just might possibly be for real ('cause the IFC is part of The World Bank Group), we don't have a Special Rep in Switzerland or Spain or the UK. Now, if the message that said the IFC's Special Rep for Western Europe and mentioned Paris . . .

9. I occasionally get emails that start our "are you happy with the size of your breasts?"

NOTE - I am a man in his 60s (and yes I am BTW).

[Baitball Blogger]

12. I always wonder what I had typed that week to get flagged for whacky

solicitations.

15. My son whought it would be funny

to sign me up for the Adam & Eve mailing list so I get a pretty regular supply of sexy toy offers. The funniest part is that I've never replied to one and I have images blocked so they wouldn't know if I open the email or not yet for several years the headline has been "ORDER NOW OR WE WILL HAVE TO REMOVE YOU FROM OUR MAILING LIST!!! YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOUR PLACE ON OUR LIST DO YOU?"

Oh noez. I might lose my spot...





He's (my son) also sent me free samples of lube. Actually that came in handy once. (It was a small sample).

17. International spam

French, Spanish, Russian, even Chinese. (Or is it Japanese?)

[LibertyLover]

18. I once got a spam message from The World Bank

It was absolutely so over the top wrong, about how they had an account which listed me as a beneficiary in the event of the death of the holder and that the holder had indeed died and would I contact them at their Washington, DC number to claim my money. It was your basic Nigerian spam, but the thing that made it the best for me is that I work for The World Bank Group in DC.
