Mar 1, 2021 — What’s Going On Back There?
Well, here I am, a week before the new year, and they’re back.
Do you ever glance through your spam before you delete delete delete? It’s a zoo back there. Sometimes amazing, mostly pornographic, always worth another blog.
It seems I speak Russian (Разместите свои объявления на доске во всемирной паутине), Chinese (歐客佬精品咖啡), and Japanese (ore no kanojo to osananajimi ga shuraba sugiru). I am interested in soccer (When you get the tennis ball in soccer, ensure that you listen to it quickly), Smoothy Man E-Juice (Has anyone ever tried Smoothy Man E-Juice SALT E-Juice), something about dating Russian ladies (your own serious needing russian Lady who is also an official person in a Severe decided agency has Ready their self before jane choose to join u), something else I cannot figure out (New proffer! 3 500 as soon as after registration for a lodge), something about bitcoin (The article is his favorite cryptocurrency miner written in c bfgminer), something about a canvas (Is your canvas being stubborn and not flattening out? An peaceful plodder is to unprejudiced peel bad the cap layer a pygmy at each side until the canvas flattens and then include it back), and need advice for a Vape Pen (Choosing the valid vape fountain-pen or mod can sometimes be a daunting task.)
These comments come from blogs posted anywhere from last week to three years ago.
Doesn’t the spamming public have anything better to do?
Of course I never open any of those emails. WordPress Spam folders show you what the spammy is saying. Most of it I can’t understand anyway. Nor do I want to.
And I guess I should be glad there are no conversations going on back there any more.
So the purpose of today’s blog is NEVER OPEN AN EMAIL FROM YOUR SPAM FOLDER. Along with that, DELETE YOUR SPAM FOLDER OFTEN.
I don’t trust spammies. They are sneaky little devils trying to lure you into the world of viruses and porn and malevolent programs that want to steal your soul along with your personal info and bathrobe size and the name of your firstborn’s mortgage company.
In my book they rank right up there with telemarketers and TV evangelists.
Blogger — spare thyself.
I know most — if not all — readers ignore messages in their SPAM folder. I only check to make sure a blog comment didn’t get misdirected. I think these spammers ARE misdirected! Ah well… freedom of the … what … press?
