SPAM isn’t funny unless it’s funnyAdd to My Brief

Robert Beerworth | 11/08/2010

We have layers of SPAM protection at work.

We have a cloud-based service that filters every email before it even has a chance to reach our network. Then, we have a SPAM service running on our email server.

Finally, Outlook has a SPAM filter that pushes anything suspect to the Junk Mail folder for a late-afternoon glance and delete.

Very little gets through.

Compared to a few years back, I receive hardly any SPAM whatsoever. That’s great, because SPAM wastes time and bandwidth.

Most SPAM is utter rubbish and can be easily dismissed.

Occasionally however, SPAM is gold. It can be hilarious.

Previously, my favourite SPAM was from a year back: the ‘Lobster Sweepstakes’ where I continually won 50kg of Maine lobster, if only I entered my email address to redeem the prize. ‘

But now, I have a new favourite, and I haven’t stopped laughing in ages; it was submitted to the Wiliam blog today:

“I’m currently being held prisoner by the Russian mafia penis enlargement penis enlargement and being forced to post spam comments on blogs and forum! If you don’t approve this they will kill me. penis enlargement penis enlargement They’re coming back now. vimax vimax Please send help! nitip penis enlargement penis enlargement.”

If this poor individual does live, he will certainly be offered a position in our marketing/comedy department.

Here is a recent one that gave me a giggle:

"Here elaborates the matter not only extensively but also detailly .I support the write's unique point.It is useful and benefit to your daily life.You can go those sits to know more relate things.They are strongly recommended by friends.Personally I feel quite well."

Note to spammers don't bother spamming our blogs as every comment is vetted before posted, unless you want to give us a laugh.

Spammers that try to Help you...

This happens allot... The amount of time I have had emails of companies offering SEO... Hello... If they'd have even visited our website they would have seen that we do SEO too & rank pretty well locally. It makes me laugh when they say they can give you 1000 back links for only €50.. Yeh right. People go find a proper job.
