(Re: )?(H(e|a)llo|Hi|(P|p)ic(ture)?s)
Hello! I am (bored|tired) tonight. I am (nice|23 yo) girl that would like to chat with you. Email me at [A-z0-9]@[A-z0-9].info only. (You will see some of my private pics|Don't miss my naughty pictures|I would like to share some of my pics).
Is anybody else getting a lot of email consisting of just this? For the past week or 2, my spam folder, thankfully not my inbox, is getting filled with these emails. They all follow the same template, with nothing straying from one another. It's always bored or tired, nice or 23 yo, and it's always a .info domain for the email. Maybe I'm weird, but it just seems weird. They aren't trying to make me buy some stock, click their referral/ad link, steal my credentials from wherever, make my p3n15 huge or have a rich, dead uncle in some random country. They want me to send an email to a different email address than the one that was sent (It's usually a Yahoo address, that actually looks to be sent by Yahoo). I just don't see the usefulness in it.
They (the spammers) have usefulness to this… Reply, and they'll know your address is read. How many people have old email accounts that are no longer checked? I personally have a half-dozen.
See the difference between this email and the usual spams is that this mail consists of text, and not a long one… Sending it to a million email addresses is fast and bandwidth-friendly.
Send an answer, and they'll know you're single/cheating, you're a man (or lesbian girl), and your approximative age (between 18 and 50, i'd estimate)…
Then the *real* spamming fest will begin…
