Subject: RE: BS: Stupid Spammer Made-up Names! From: Old Guy Date: 10 Oct 06 - 11:56 AM When you fight spammers, you might as well fight a coke machine. They have no soul or morals or consideration. They are like Mafia hit men. They have programs that create all these names. The garbled up stuff is the results of a program designed to write spam that slips through the spam filters. There is not 100% effective spam filter and if there was, it would be compromised in a few days. Spammers have programs that scan the internet for open mail servers that will relay thier spam and hide the origin of the spam. When a mail server is set up, it defaults to open relay. In China and third world countries. thay simply don't know and don't care how the mail servers are setup. This facilitaies the spam. The only thing you can do about spam is to avoid letting the spammers get your address. Do not post it on the net and do not use it to contact anybody but friends. Use a free Yahoo or Hotmail account for dealing with anybody other than your friends. I do it and I have not received any spam since Sep 9th. |

Subject: RE: BS: Stupid Spammer Made-up Names! From: JohnInKansas Date: 09 Oct 06 - 04:06 AM The majority of ones I get are so garbled that the "from" line doesn't even form anything resembling a name. I have noticed, however, that virtually all of them come from .ca addresses. My most persistent one appears to pretend to be (possibly) female, but the subject and addy lines are all in French (maybe?) so that I can't read enough of them to make sense. Something (possibly?) about sex and mutual funds, or meds to make my funds grow, as best I can tell. I've tried blocking the source site that's indicated, but it seems to change about every two weeks, and I've been getting "almost identical" crap, all apparently from the same source, for over 6 months now. All from .ca of course. Probably just a fan ... . I hope "she" gets over me soon. John |

I mostly get spam at my work address and I'm sure I can collect some more interesting names (even if not interesting in a musical sense) in the next coupla days.

Over the past few years we've had zillions of mergers, cos the Govt deregulated the financial industry. I spent hours detectiving & fixing the old & new entries in our Customer DB when I heard that another small regional bank had been swallowed by a big one, & another big one was chaging it's name - again! So I gave up & waited for them to contact us. sandra (who does not have a bank account so is not tempted by phishers) I wonder why they don't phish credit unions. (moves aside smartly to avoid stampede of Mudcatters who have been phished by pseudo credit unions) |

Subject: RE: BS: Stupid Spammer Made-up Names! From: IvanB Date: 04 Sep 06 - 09:07 PM Sandra in Sydney, Fifth Third Bank is headquartered in Cincinnati Ohio, USA. I always thought the name odd too, and inquie=red about it when I attended a function in the area. Apparently Fifth National and Third National banks merged and neither wanted to lose their identity, hence the name. I had thought maybe it was the fifth instance of a third national bank or the like. In recent years, Fifth Third has gone on a buying spree and is now one of the nation's largest banks. As a matter of fact, I'm now a customer of theirs even though I'm still using checks with a bank name from two purchases back. I assume you got one of the phishing emails purportedly from them in the past few days. It gave me pause for about ten seconds until I decided they could send me snail mail if they really wanted that info and I sent it the way of the rest of the junk mail. |

Subject: RE: BS: Stupid Spammer Made-up Names! From: Little Hawk Date: 03 Sep 06 - 07:23 PM Ephedra is both a stimulant (similar to adrenaline) and a thermogenic. It stimulates the brain, increases heart rate, constricts blood vessels (increasing blood pressure), and expands bronchial tubes (making breathing easier). Its thermogenic properties cause an increase in metabolism, evidenced by an increase in body heat. Side effects of ephedra may include irritability, nervousness, dizziness, trembling, headache, vomiting and hyperthermia. Chemical dependence may also develop. |

From: freda underhill Date: 03 Sep 06 - 04:51 AM Diodorus Passarelli - btw an earlier Diodorus (Diodorus Siculus 90 BC– c. 30 BC) was a Greek historian who wrote forty books, describing the ancient world of his time, and his travels through Egypt,Mesopotamia, India, Scythia, Arabia, North Africa, Greece and Europe. In his writings Diodorus described an early matriarchal society in which women were the judges, warriors and merchants and men stayed home doing the housework and minding the children. He is quoted in "the Paradise papers" by Merlin Stone as part of her argument that there were once matriarchal Goddess-worshipping societies. freda |

Subject: RE: BS: Stupid Spammer Made-up Names! From: Don Firth Date: 31 Aug 06 - 05:30 PM Barbara and I each have our own e-mail address and we have a joint one. Mine starts out with my name, "donfirth@" and then goes from there. What I don't quite understand is that I get spam addressed to "donf—" and just about any and every possible combination of letters from there on. I'll sometimes get eight or ten at once, different variations of the address, but the body of the message is all the same. Ersatz Rolex watches (my Casio digital with five alarms, a stop-watch, and a countdown timer gains about two seconds a week and I reset it every week to Greenwich Mean Time, and that's good enough for me), or wanting us to ru-up our mortgage, (which we don't have because it was paid off years ago), and for cut-rate drugs and pharmaceuticals from some undisclosed foreign country, no doctors' prescriptions necessary (yeah, right!!). I have a spam blocker that stops the vast majority (sometimes hundreds per day!), but these come in in the "Suspect Email" folder. And the same damned ones come in day after day. Advertising may come to us through snail-mail addressed to "Occupant," but at least they have to get the street address right. Barbara and I both get this stuff on all three of our e-mail addresses, when the address at the top of the spam is only approximate, and not even a close approximate at that. If it isn't addressed to us specifically, why the hell are we getting it? Don Firth |
