Russian Spam

[craigb]

I get a lot of spam at work. A great deal of it gets picked up by work's spam filter but a fair bit still gets through, say about 30 emails a day.

This week I've had a heap of spam in Russian.

I mean, what is the point of sending Russian spam to a .au email address?

Sure, spam is computer generated but you'd think the programmer would be smart enough to only send it to Russian email addresses.

Has anybody else been receiving Russian spam?

I wonder what it is they're trying to sell/scam?

Russian spam? I thought that was borsch?

Simple. It costs nothing to send.

Send it to the world, you are only after the total idiots.

Getting an email in Russian may be just the thing to convince someone with a borderline personality disorder to track down your site (since it is Russian, it must be good????) and send you tons of money for no readily apparent reason. Its worth a try, anyway.

Wanna buy a wife, Craig?

No thanks Scott. I'm already spoken for.

(I wonder when I'm going to start getting Chinese spam?)

I wonder when I'm going to start getting Chinese spam?

I don't think they've discovered it yet, but they will. Be afraid...

I've had Korean spam off and on for the last few years.
