Thread Name: BS: Surreal spam
Subject: RE: BS: Surreal spam
Not spam, but on a local Freecycle list I'm on, the subject line was: "WANTED - Chainsaw & Motherboard" which I found to be a fairly surreal combination of requests.

Then again, here in New Hampshuh a chainsaw is considered to be a kitchen utensil . . .

Most of my personal spam goes to my Yahoo account and I've trained Yahoo's spam detector well enough that I now can delete the contents of the bulk mail folder without even looking at it. I get almost no spam (maybe two pieces a week) at my regular email address. But at work I get tons -- most of it for drugs, mortgages, cheap namebrand software or wanting me to correct information on bank or PayPal accounts I don't have. That seems to be the latest variant of the bank info phishing expeditions.
