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. <p></p><i></i>

it's to fool spam filters

The misspelled drug names & the random chunks of text are both to fool spam filters.<br><br>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.<br><br>Sounds almost like Cryptogon! Let's try to find it ... Well, the anti-spam folks have noted this one, or one very similar <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www1.ietf.org/spam-archive/mbeaulieu/msg00859.html">www1.ietf.org/spam-archiv...00859.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>Google the text and you'll see it also shows up as "hidden" text in various website promoting online casinos, etc.<br><br>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! <p></p><i></i>

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

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

I received a nigerian something, and i was scared at first, until everyone assured me its not personal.<br>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. <p></p><i></i>

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.<br><br>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. <br><br>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.<br><br>The very next AM, I received my very first spam porn email and guess which perversion it featured...?!<br><br>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.<br><br>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. <br><br>LilyPat<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

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.<br>--<br>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. <br><br>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.<br><br>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".<br> <p></p><i></i>

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. <p></p><i></i>
