We do already have threads on Scams from Nigeria, etc.

This thread is devoted to some of the gems that appear in my inbox.

Sadly, I don't have time to read them all, most of them just get trashed by Mailwasher unopened, but occasionally I do skim the contents of some of them - Mailwasher lets you do this without previewing anything but the text (ASCII text only) & the headers. It ignores images, links etc.

I'll start off with one that represents the style of gibberish intended to pretend to be real messages in the hope that anti-spam scanners will think it is a genuine message - but they don't fool Mailwasher!

The punctuation has only been slightly changed - occasionally...

We could have a song challenge related to some of this gibberish - "Your Red Scarf matches Your Eyes" is an old song of that ILK!

Any earring can sanitise related to toothpick, but it takes a real bride to behind line dancer. When you see beyond CEO, it means that living with CEO self-flagellates. Bubble defined by tornado - ignore tuba player near pickup truck. Graduate from hand around.

Well....

Creativity is a truly terrifying thing - this almost makes sense to me.

Where is that room with all those monkeys and typewriters?

Chongo, all is forgiven...

Or is it really just coded messages from the Taliban? The CIA has to be picking up SOMETHING that they call 'chatter'....

If 'trousers' is code for 'weapons' or 'false pasports', god alone knows what it really means...
