    I have no idea, mine go to the spam folder where they can't hurt anyone and will never see daylight again. I sometimes get mail offering cosmetic products, white teeth, natural tan, anti-wrinkle creams and such things but I think it's because of my mom or friends giving my mail to these companies as Im sure I have never even heard of some of them.

    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
    Random language swap. I wonder if these are real lines from books. And I wonder what the spammer's goal is.

    Wish my girlfriend would stop forwarding them to me.

    Whenever a database is compromised for any website and user email addresses and data are leaked, the data is sold to 3rd parties who in the best case want to scam you and in the worst case steal your identity and company secrets. It's without rhyme or reason. There are women who get penis enlargement spam, males who get breast implant spam, children who get mails for viagra, elderly who get mails for porn,... I receive a lot of spam for online casinos and "histoire choquant d'un mere de votre region", which I have never opened but could either be porn, dating or ponzi scheme related.

    Ive seen those that some company ask you to work with them and you have to pay an ammount of many in order to get the job (transport, LI and so on) obiosly a money grabber.

    But there was once when I recived like a ton of spam of gay porn, it was kind of funny becouse it started to happen when my cousin came on holidays last summer and he used my computer were I have my gmail always on, the thing is that we dont know if he use my account to make some kind of joke on me or if he really search those websites. My GF and I never told him about the porn spam but... yeapp, he acted normal on his stay.

    I once got a letter I wasn't expecting with the name "Emir Fazlik" on the return address. Everything on the envelope was handwritten and the back was taped shut, not licked. My mind jumped from place to place as to what could be in the envelope; this was shortly after the anthrax-in-the-mail scares, so with all those factors combined it was a possibility I didn't rule out. I put the letter under a light and started opening it using a pair of pencils and with my shirt over my face. It took some doing, but once I finally got it open I discovered that it was just a random chain letter telling me to mail it to 8 people or goblins will eat my soul or some crap. Sigh.

    People actually sent those in the mail? What, do they pick random people or something?

    phone books have adresses? I thought they were just a registry of land lines? and of course, with all the cellphones these days, a phonebook is sort of like the ancient usenet.

    I got this in my google drive in 2011, and I have no idea who made it or where it's from.
