Oh great, more filter-evading spam

Post by Avder »

Presented for your disaproval, the following spam message that was delivered to my inbox folder:
Nòt tóò lòng ago wé sênt ÿóú än émáîl còncërnìng thè specìál cìrcûmstäncès sûrróúndîng ÿòur hòmë.

Wè havè sincé rëëvâlüátêd yóür hòmës qúâlîfícâtîòn lévèl, änd wóûld lìkê yòù to cóntäct ùs ìmmediátêly cóncernîng thë ädjùstmënts.

îf ÿòù àrë able tó vêrífy the ínformatiòn pròvídéd for ÿóûr cónvënìèncé hère in thë línk bélòw by Móndáy, Maý 17th, wê wíll bë âblé to gèt ýoû in for prîòritÿ prócessìng
Please note all the special characters used. Of course we can all see that these characters are just basic BS thrown in for the benifit of the spam filters, same as there ar ways to get past the swear filter here.

Why the hell do marketers keep trying to bombard us with this sh!t? If I wanted to refinance a home, or buy the newest wonder drug, or increase the size of minivader, I'd contact them, not vice versa. Stuff like this just pisses me off. Hopefully the anti-spam orginizations jump on the use of these characters quick and find a way to get the filters to treat ë like a regular e.

ROFL at "minivader" :P.

To put it simply: spammers should be shot, cremated, and flushed. Not necessarily in that order, either :P.

No no, are you mad? Don't do that to them. That's much too kind.

a while back, I got a spam e-mail where every single word was misspelled or written in l33t. I was like "hrm, I wonder if they actually sell anything like that?"

I think spammers do help us understand the rationale behind the doctrine of eternal damnation ;)

Once a spammer started spoofing my adress in the from field, and I got every single bounced e-mail. That's like 1000-2000 per day... :x :cry:
