Interesting E-Mails.
I get some interesting e-mails:
Someone named Susan Parra sent me one with the subject being “Re: YTTROGW, and fell alseep.”
Then there is the one from a person named Elizabeth Lucero. She wrote me about “Re: off die hilltop me te.”
Good ol’ Wilbur Pagan must have thought I was dying to read his e-mail about “Re: itself never bodes frk.”
On December 23rd, I was really glad to receive the reminder from Rufus Greene that “Christmas is near…ticzbbtxcksutaozrj.” Good thing too, because I had thought that Christmas is near..biczbbtxcksutaorzj. Thanks, Rufus.
WTF???
These e-mails are from spammers or e-mail address harvesters.
The strange spelling and characters in the subject are meant to defeat anti-spam filters.
E-mails like this often containg a html code to load an image file from a remote site, but the image file is a zero or one pixel sized image that you never see, but which will tell the site owner he has found a valid e-mail address because that “ticzbbtxcksutaozrj” key in the subject is unique to the e-mail sent to you.
Because of these techniques I use an e-mail program that has the option to block loading of remote images, which is not of course from Microsoft (Mozilla Thunderbird).
I also try not to post my e-mail address in harvestable form.
