In the last two weeks or so, at a growing rate, I am receiving these emails into my box. the link does not work, and notice the last paragraph, and such like are coming in. they are causing me a sense of "cue.trigger" of a disorienting sort. the address is different every day. any way to stop that ? or trace? or what ? other strange stuff on mailbox these days.

dont worry about it. I get those all the time too. I keep writing back that my dick is already big enough, thanks, but they insist on sending me more. You probably just entered your email address online somewhere, and some shysters put you on their mailing list after getting hold of it.

Probably not the best choice of words there.....

The misspelled drug names & the random chunks of text are both to fool spam filters. I've long wondered about the source of the random text. The stuff in the spam I receive is rarely as coherent as your spam. Sounds almost like Cryptogon! Let's try to find it ... Well, the anti-spam folks have noted this one, or one very similar <a href="http://www1.ietf.org/spam-archive/mbeaulieu/msg00859.html">www1.ietf.org/spam-archiv...00859.html</a> Google the text and you'll see it also shows up as "hidden" text in various website promoting online casinos, etc. The real mystery is why so much spam links to dead web sites. But whenever I encounter more proof of how crappilly the "spam business" is run, I see something like that recent tech story claiming 20% click-thru rates on porn spam ... 20%! Most online advertisers are satisfied with 1% click-thrus!

You got spam with extra topping. There are probably a million other folks who also got it, I wouldn't worry about it. Kinda creepy though.

On a related note, have you gotten the variation of the Nigerian scam where they use Suha Arafat instead of a Nigerian general?

by **havanagilla** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 2:25 pm

I received a nigerian something, and i was scared at first, until everyone assured me its not personal. As for spam, i am worried because i feel that in my case it has been used, in the past at least, to send messages, usually via the "title" which was unrelated to the content. I am trying to think positive though, thanks for the reassurances. Another reason I was worried, was that suddenly my other email box (yahoo), which i started using less, stopped receiving spam, and it kinda "immigrated" to the newly used box.

And, uh, yes, obviously, email is being monitored...  <blockquote>Quote:<hr>More than 95% of e-mail is 'junk' By Mark Ward Technology correspondent, BBC News website More than 95% of e-mail is junk, be it spam, error messages or viruses, report mail monitoring firms. Analysis of the contents of millions of e-mails has revealed that less than 4% is legitimate traffic. Further work has shown that most of this junk mail is originating on hijacked home computers. E-mail security firm Return Path said 99% of the computers it monitors that send mail have been taken over by spammers or virus writers. Return Path reached its estimate by calculating a "reputation score" for the 20 million net addresses of those machines. The score was derived by analyzing the e-mail traffic sent through those addresses, the number of complaints filed about that address, and if the owner of that address responds to complaints. The vast majority of these net addresses were not good net citizens, said George Bilbrey, spokesman for Return Path. Only 1% of net addresses could be regarded as legitimate sources of mail. The rest, said Mr Bilbrey, were hijacked computers, or bots, used by spammers and other net criminals to send e-mail. Zombie take-over Typically these home computers are compromised by viruses sent in e-mail messages or by worms that trawl the net looking for vulnerable machines. Matt Peachey, regional director for IronPort, which monitors about a quarter of all mail sent across the net, said its research revealed that about 80% of e-mail came from compromised hosts. Though, he said there were some cases such as with Polish Telecom where that percentage was likely to be much higher. The vast majority of the 170,000 net addresses sending e-mail from Polish Telecom were probably zombies, he said. Ironport's analysis of the e-mail traffic sent to large corporations reveals that more and more of the messages are junk that is not worth reading. Mr Peachey said statistics for one of its customers show that from 20 June to 20 July only 4% of the messages received were legitimate. Of the rest, he said, 70% were spam, 11% were bounces or error messages and 9% was viruses. On average, said Mr Peachey, only about 10% of e-mail was now real. Nations The news comes as anti-virus firm Sophos reveals the list of nations where most spam starts its journey across the net. Top of the list is the US as, according to Sophos, 23.2% of spam originates there. This is probably due to the fact that broadband has become very popular in the US and has led many people leave inadequately protected PCs connected to the net all the time. Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, said in the previous two quarters the amount of spam originating in the US had fallen but this decline had now stopped. "Perhaps the reality is that the statistics can't be reduced any further unless US home users take action to secure their computers and put a halt to the zombie PC problem," he said. In the number two position was China which sends out 20% of junk e-mail. Although China has a low percentage of net users in its total population, more than 123 million Chinese people regularly go online and more than half of those do so via broadband. Significantly the US and China occupy the number one and two spots in counts of total numbers of net users. Next in the list come South Korea (7.5%), France (5.2%) and Spain (4.8%). The UK was tenth with 1.8%.

havanagilla, I too get this kind of spam and I'm told by my computer-savvy hubby and friends that it's totally random. And for most folks I'm sure it is. But that's not the whole story....due to having an unusual email address, I never received any spam at all for years. They use special software to "guess" email addresses that originate from the main email providers--so you don't have to enter your email addy anywhere to get spam. If you answer one, though, your goose is cooked, since then they can sell your addy for $$ as a confirmed legitimate one. So there I was, a couple of years back, spam-free, when I happened to post to another board about a dream I had of a certain NeoCon politician who's been named by other MC survivors. In this dream, he was not indulging in the perversion that other people have reported, though. I very carefully did NOT post what the practice I saw him practice was at all. No hints, nothing at all to identify it--this is a very brutal and dangerous man and one of my alters knows him quite well. The very next AM, I received my very first spam porn email and guess which perversion it featured...?! I could tell myself it was a fluke, a one-in-a-billion coincidence that spam-free little me could have just happened to get my first porn spam within hours of having posted about THIS guy and THIS perversion. But honestly, that is just not realistic to me. The fact is that folks like us are monitored and that the ubiquity of porn spam makes very pointed messages easy to send to us to shut us up/scare us. And with total deniability for our handlers, too, since *everybody* gets porn spam. While I'm not paranoid enough to believe that the hundreds of them that I've gotten since are directed at me, some of them definitely were--the "word salad" parts were full of triggering words for anyone who's been in a MC program. And the flood of them was begun very deliberately, with that one targetting one. I now have a file where I save the ones that seem to me to be deliberately triggering, after I panicked and deleted that first one. LilyPat

thanks lpt, my sentiments precisely. It is a crime of opportunity, because it is hard to prove, as most other MC stalkings are done. I am positive re most of spam, and i have prior notices of things to happen. things like "trouble with tax", and then a few days later I get some notice about old tax debt that came out of no where. Or, even regarding people, friends, family, it is brief and accurate. the nature of stalking is precisely that, namely, coding messages tailor made for the victim, which look innocent to all others. -- I started getting those when I corresponded with someone actually from this board (who has now disappeared...both from my eamils and the board). the guy, from this board as I said, offered to help in some ways, re the war situation here, and we corresponded quite extensively, and i felt the spams were saying "watch it, we don't agree", and it turned out later the guy has some involvement with moslem/arabs whatever, which kind of confirmed my interpretation of the messages starting to come to this email box rather than the old one (yahoo), where they came, regularly at a rate of two a day. this is in fact the main/most consistent accessing I feel nowadays, because i read the title, it stays with my mind, and then the thing happens. I tried to put the filter on total protection, (namely, deleting all mail from people who are not in the contact list) but then what happens is that I lose a LOT of mail. I still didn't find a way to fight this one. The other "connection" to me was via backtalks on my blog, to the point that I locked comments, but only recently re opened, and will not be tempted against to delete "on panic mode".

since I already had bad experience with police complaint about stalking via the internet (namely, the closed the file and issued a bizarre gag on the file so i cannot review the names they found from the provider etc.), i will not do the same waste of time drill again.
