Unexpected earning opportunity tips up

New service for spammers
Monday, 15 October 2007, 11:59

HIGHLY PRIVATE CONFIDENTIAL. Dear friend, I got your contact courtesy of the South African chamber of commerce and Industry business Directory here in England.

My name is Doctor Alphonso SPINOLA, a trusted journalist of good repute, recently fallen on hard times. My good friend, the former wife of DEFENCE MINISTER Johnson Wemba of the republic of GABON in Central Africa suggested I write to you to make business proposition.

My cat, SIMON like an only son forced to eat mice are presently residing in small town of Sodding Chipbury near university city of Oxford, England where I study for many years. Once we were rich but now my limousine and wife have been taken by the repressive government and I beg you’re help in a business matter.

Many are the stories here in England of GOD FEARING persons handing money to illegal criminals from Africa, but the stories could be much increased with my help!

Many letters sent to victims in England are so written that idiots only believe and send money! Together we can make this much more!

I am interested in any business you think can be very viable in your country as long as the business will not fail me because the lives of me and my cat depends on this money as we may never in life go back to my wife who outrightly abandoned us.

For US$5,000 only per letter, with God's help, I promise to rewrite your letters in PREFECT ENGLISH, many more people to fool. In your reply please indicate a few businesses you think will be of mutual benefit to both myself and yourself.

Please indicate your willings and also include your private phone and fax numbers for quicker communication, also the banking details please.

Please maintain absolute confidentiality of this previllaged piece of information and proposal as it is never the wish of me and my cat Simon that His mother (Mrs Spinola) ever know our wayabout for life. Hoping to meet you very soon as our business elationship improves. God bless you as we await your favourable reply. Cash preferred to reduce administrative costings.

Dr Alphonso Spinola and Simon like the son. µ

Might I suggest that Mr Robert Mugabe and/or his witch doctor/ju-ju man be appraised of such a valuable talent, Doc.

Yours Spiffingly,

Merlin, The MetaPhysician

Poor Bastards

It is a heart breaking story, really it is. The spamming business has apparently become very competitive. So competitive in fact that now spammers fight for clients who need their services, apparently.

Andrew, I have a better offer for you. Why not procure a mass emailing program, easily obtainable from many p2p sites & do it for free??

I ask you, what would be better than spreading idiot fooling scams around the world, so millions of people could have a spam filter?

Please sign below, next to the line:
"Your product/service is garunteed to be hated, rejected and despised 99.999% of the time and or for all eternity"


P.S.

I wonder if Viagra product spamming actually decreased sales. Who does that kind of research?
