Spam has recently been putting little tidbits of good literature in their messages so they can evade spam filters. It's evil, but brilliant. And a smidge enlightening if you like what you read and can find it on the net.

I remember when Gmail used to get absolutely no spam, now I can actually watch the number of messages in the spam folder increase in real-time, sometimes. It deals massive damage to my account.

Atleast it all goes to the spam folder, for me atleast. Now my spam pretends to be emails from famous people.

One of my friends received an email from someone claiming to be an African banker and claimed someone died without leaving their fortune to someone and so my friend was going to inherit it and wanted all his bank details.
In this day and age, an era where there are people who actually throw shit at each other, anything, could be possible.

God I hate it when the spam knows you by name.
