Sto-o-o-ock Spa-a-a-am
Here is the actual text of one of those stock spams that managed to slip past my spam filter. Marvel at the utter ridiculousness that comes from this spammer trying, I can only assume, to avoid spam filters. Note that I’m not trying to actually promote the stock mentioned here; in fact, if anyone actually buys stock based on a message that looks like this, I seriously pity that person.
AUNI set aside it’s warranty to start advertisement. It on it’s current maximum right now.I will wait notice from them, cause without it i will not rise more than x.35.
So i got to switch to elsewhere.Warning alert this incredible unbelievable opportunity chance to make our profits.

“This are fresh company”? I suppose all our stock are belong to them.
Oh, yes, and the e-mail address it was sent from had the username of ‘regeneratingspareribs’.
One of the funniest stock spams I saw recently was one that they tried to do in ASCII art – except that their email program had correctly wrapped it and it made the email unreadable. 😛
Basically the original email looked like this:

I won’t post the expanded version here as it might cause people to have to scroll sideways, but the unexpanded thing read “TORA.OB” in large text. But as I said, the spammer’s email program had wrapped the text, so it couldn’t actually be seen like that. 😛

Hah, wow. I’d read about the TORA.OB ASCII-art spam on various forums, but not the variation where the spammer’s software made it unreadable…
