Derive Fun reading Spam Messages

Derive Fun reading Spam Messages

As anyone active on email, I too get a lot of spam messages.
Fortunately, Gmail detects spam messages efficiently and separates
them as spam. I wonder what algorithms or logic they may be using to
detect spam. Some days you may land up with more spam messages than
'real' ones. And you may have free time as you need to spend less time
on mail. In such cases it may be fun to explore the contents of the
spam folder.

The only intention of spammers appears to be to collect all and
available working email addresses and sell them for further spamming.
Endless Queue of professional spammers are waiting to exploit the
unwary emailers. Even if a small miniscule percentage of victims react
/ respond then their job is done.

For spam mail constitutes a major part of the email system. It is
estimated that 350 billion messages are flowing around daily. About
45% was spam last year!

However enticing a spam message might be, you may open and read it but
NEVER click on any link given in a spam message. That is the surest
way to invite further spam!

When you do read spam messages you can derive a lot of fun. Be proud
that you are chosen as the target (victim?) among millions! That
someone is very benevolent and ready to share millions of dollars with
a total stranger like you.

That you are likely to be amongst the dumbest in the world! That you
are so easy on time and have absolutely no work to do except reading
his letters. That governments, NGOs and multinational companies are
vying with each other for the favour of your request for funds /
financial help.

Can you recall the strangest spam message of your lifetime? Surely you
must have read it before discarding it as spam!
