I got a weird e-mail from someone (someone I don´t know) and I can´t understand what the hell is this for...



The title of the e-mail is "speculator jockey" and this is the whole contain of the e-mail:

Quote: "his spindly fingers. “Though the goblins of Gringotts will consideror what — whatever —” “Yeah, I —”days, you know, in case we needed to make a quick getaway. I packed Beyond Hagrid, out in the dark night, Harry saw bursts of light All three of them returned to the tent when darkness fell, andwith a reverence that, even in his befuddled and sleep-deprived sta “Well, yeah,” said Ron, looking slightly confused

It's a spam mail, flag it as such and ignore it.

Ok, thanks, but what he/she selling? I can´t understand a word, it looks like a dialog of a book, isn´t it?

I read these just for the comical value - that looks like something from a Harry Potter book, but there are some really weird ones that come through, might be bad translations or even generated randomly but they can be very amusing.

We're going down... in a spiral to the ground...

They're trying to screw up the spam filter so that it either doesn't filter out enough or it filters too many emails. So I've read, anyways.

That's not as bad as you think you said.

That is a new strategy of spammers.

I create filters in gmail to delete spam messages that I shall never open (the ones that contain "Viagra", "pharmacy", "cheap software", "enlargement" et cetera). I do this because gmail may fail and send an important message to spam box, and finding it in a massive list is just tedious.

But the damned spammers are now using images to announce stuff and attaching a piece of poetry as text. So filters do not work. They also use leet to trespass filters.

Actually, "KKK" sounds like laugh in our language. We do not support Ku Klux Klan. I would kill KKK if it was a man. Cheers.

I got a werid email from 'Six Flags' apparently but I haden't registered with 'Six Flags'! Anyway the best advice is just to ignore it and mark it as spam. Some companies sell your info to other companies just to make money which everyone wants to do!

Yeah, I think it's advertising Viagra. The irritating company changes emails all the time to, so you can't block a single email adress.
WTF is Viagra anyway? Stupid company...

It is a very, very useful drug for many, many men. However, buying it over the internet is just stupid - see your doctor!

You seem to be quite experienced on the subject.

Look, I'm not going to go into my personal experiences, but if you feel you need to find out for yourself, consult your doctor for more information, or possibly being prescribed the drug yourself...

Viagra is a very big waterfall. 16 people have attempted to freefall down it in barrels, of which 6 have died. The first successful person was a woman called Annie.
