    Weird junk mail you've gotten?

    Sometimes you get the prince of Nigeria begging for help. Sometimes they think you need male enhancement.

    But other times? Junk mail can be just plain weird.

    Anybody else get any really, really weird mail? Please edit out links, of course.

    Here's one I saw today:

    Subject: Nice to hear from you!

    I wont sign it. But there arent any principles.
    I made fast tracks out of the hotel and along to the main Post Office,
    which was conveniently nearby.
    You think I might be on his list? Rick said.


    (weird URL here)



    I should just do it, he said aloud. Just go-
    Do you think you really have something I want to hear?
    Hold still, Trip said. Youre jumpier than a June bug on hot concrete.
    Smells delicious, Kyle told her as he approached.
    Beat that.

    Sorry man

    I had a message once though, it was from a Saudi prince who was stuck in Nigeria or something - i sent him the 20,000 USD he asked for... never did get my 20m.

    Been a while since I got spam, it's usually just my GW2/ToR/Runescape account, neither of which I have, has been hacked or going to be banned. Mostly just stupid friends clicking shit and getting their emails hacked and sending me crap.

    I don't think I've ever gotten anything I'd consider weird... Maybe weird in the sense that anyone falling for it should be considered a moron in that a company will send out emails with obvious grammar/spelling/formatting mistakes. Meh. I'm sad that I don't get weird emails.

    I've saved some odd ones in the past, but I don't seem to have them anymore.

    Terrible though really... As much as people are warned not to reply, once a number of years ago when I'd got one of those Nigeria phishing emails I made a temporary email and replied to them from that just to screw with them. Heard back, they were asking me for crap, I kept telling them nonsense gibberish and things like I needed certain vitrifaction and UPC codes*. It didn't take them long to stop replaying to me. LOL

    * To those without it, the UPC codes are bar codes on product packages.

    Well I don't know about emails, but on the topic of wierd mail, someone sent my priest 5000 gold once. Still don't know who they are or why.

    He's got an accented name, too, I don't even.

    Is your tiger lost in the jungle?

    It's time for a trim!

    Grab your trimmer...
    Take your time.

    Congratulations, Your Tiger now stands proud on the open plains! (With a pic of some guy getting it on with a girl)
    Aye mate

    For me it was a message from "Adriana". It was so bizarre and yet I couldn't help but read it multiple times. I don't have the actual text but it first introduces herself as someone who used to facebook/chat with me. She then reveals how she's moving "right effin" near me. It goes on talking about how while she has cousins in the area she can't hang out with them and she remembered how I was cute. Finally she reveals how on the side she does a sex camera thing and gives me the address but not to tell anyone.

    My PC illiterate mother got one of those. What a fun conversation explaining that and what phishing scam in general was.

    I remember a spam mail I got once.

    someone claimed he was a project manager for the United Nations Asian Development Center. He basically wanted me to help him steal a few million Dollars from that center's funding and I could get half of it.

    Obviously anyone who thought they could pull off such a heist would be clever enough to know it was a scam. Not a wisely chosen target audience.

    Sometimes I get 2-3 emails (all at the same time) offering me some sort of job in broken english. It's usually a financial position that involves money transfers.

    There's this recurring one I get from "The Shoe Company" always trying to coerce me to enlarge my penis in different ways. That one sort of makes me chuckle. I just imagine the guy from the Shoe Warehouse store down the road knocking on my door and offering me penis pills. Like come on man, you sell shoes, not viagra. Not sure why, but I find it funny :P

    I received a spam, and one hour later, the same spam with a [Erratum] written in it.

    I don't know if Erratum is the right word (google translate says it is). If it's not, it means they sent me a spam, and something was wrong in that spam, so they sent me another one, corrected.

    It would only be made funnier by The Penis Enlargement Company trying to sell you shoes.

    The title of the email was 'wunkyaa'

    This is a direct copy of what it said:

    see her weep; she calls hs name; he answers not, nor wll; my soul wth joy s all aflame; laugh, and laugh, and thrll
    entre 1813 y 1820 el universo de pies descalzos y suenos prodigos, de manos tendidas con diferentes colores de piel pero erizadas en un sueno comun, se fue extendiendo por varias provincias argentinas y sus ecos se oian ya en el alto peru de tupac katari
    for an old bult sloop, you would not see her equal
    fortunately no one had noticed the oversight, and turning the key i removed it and returned it to the sergent de ville
