strange email

Phoenix Red · Post by **Phoenix Red** » Thu Jun 17, 2004 9:39 am

well, I opened up my brand new email address, which is hopefully immune to spam, and found a single email within. It wasn't from someone I know, but it didn't have the markings of spam, so out of curiosity (which is often my downfall) I opened it up. I quickly noticed two things, first, the "sent to" field was to a single e-mail address, and it wasn;t mine. Second, I couldn't read a bloody word of it.

Am 3. Dezember wurde mein Sohn gegen 18 Uhr in der Innenstadt von
einer Gruppe tuerkischer Jugendlicher angepoebelt und schliesslich
von einem der Jugendlichen zusammengeschlagen. Obwohl mein Sohn
den Schlaeger auf eine erst kuerzlich bei ihm durchgefuehrte schwere
Kopfoperation hinwies, die durch eine ca. 20 cm lange Narbe auf
der Stirn unmoeglich zu uebersehen ist, bekam er einen Faustschlag
mitten ins Gesicht. Nach ambulanter Versorgung im Krankenhaus, fuhr
ich anschliessend mit meinem Sohn zur Wuelfrather Polizeiwache um
Anzeige zu erstatten. Dort aber mussten wir feststellen, dass der
wachhabende Beamte sich Gedanken darum machte, ob mein Sohn eventuell
einer rechtsradikalen Gesinnung nachhaengt. Den Verdacht hierfuer
begruendete er mit den sehr kurzen Haaren meines Sohnes, die ihm
nach einer Chemotherapie ausgefallen waren. Weder ich noch mein
Sohn sind Anhaenger einer rechtsradikalen Gesinnung. Es kann unmoeglich
sein, dass man sich noch dafuer rechtfertigen muss, von wem auch
immer verpruegelt worden zu sein.

Kommentar des Sober Autors:
So sieht es in unserem Deutschland aus. Die Bullen sind nur bezahlte
Geldeintreiber (DIE DU AUCH NOCH BEZAHLST VON DEINEN STEUERN,,...)!
Wenn man die Taeter schnappt, wird sich dein Sohn wohl entschuldigen
muessen, weil er sich nicht hat tot schlagen lassen!

Klingt zwar etwas Zynisch, aber Kanacken duerfen das in Deutschland!

In diesem Sinne

Anyone know german?

Google does, but not very well.

On 3 December my son was angepoebelt against 18 o'clock in the city center by a group of Turkish young people and finally together-struck by one the young people. Although my son the racquet referred to one only recently with it accomplished heavy head operation, which is to be ignored approx. 20 cm long scar on the forehead impossible by one, he got a punch in the middle in the face. To ambulatory supply in the hospital, I drove afterwards with my son to the Wuelfrather police station around announcement to refund. There however we had to state that the sergeant of the guard an official thought about whether my son possibly after-hangs a right-wing extremist convicition. For this it justified the suspicion with the very short hair of my son, which had failed it after a chemotherapy. Neither I nor my son are trailers of a right-wing extremist convicition. It can be impossible that one must justify oneself still for it by whom to have been also always flogged. Comment of the Sober of author: Thus it looks in our Germany. The bulls are only paid money A drivers (WHICH YOU ALSO STILL PAY FROM YOUR TAXES,,...)! if one the authors snatch, your son to excuse will probably have themselves, because it could not be struck dead! Something Zynisch sounds, but Kanacken may in Germany!

Here is what Bable Fish translates it as:

Well, it's not advertizing anything, and there was no code in the email through which hitcounts could be tracked or anything. I'm inclined to believe I was sent someone's personal mail about their son, who has a 20 inch scar in the head, cancer, and is under suspicion by the german government.

Wow... I wonder what he wants us to do about it?

LOL, no it's spam from Nazis. Apparently they used the Sober-Virus to get email-addys or to send their racist spam mail. It made some headlines here in Germany but the sources are all German, of course.

Wait, here's the registers take on it:

I'm betting it's some sort of venting.

Now comes the question, how to we put this information to good use. If this WAS an accidentally redirected personal message, it's begging to spawn a prank.

Pandora got it. Someone infected w/ sober.g/h must have your brand new email address on his/her computer.. (or that thing creates random addresses.) Bottom line: it's worm created nazi spam..

my first thoughts are that it's bait for a "uh, you sent this to the wrong email" active spamlist.

Looks like a "ping" to me. I.E. a spammer sends out jibberish emails to random addresses and any addresses that DONT bounce back to him are valid and therefore are to be included in his list of spam recipients.

Tell me something...do these spammers ever actually sell anything?

Pandora · Post by **Pandora** » Thu Jun 17, 2004 6:57 pm

This is actually not the only version of it, there are different pamphlets telling different stories. I don't believe they want to gain something elsethan a racist climate in the German elections. Like motivate the cupboard racist to make their outings, etc.

I've never seen a hate website...I'd say they failed.

The KKK's website sucks. So does the National Vanguard's. (Not gonna link b/c I fear the wrath of Xciter.) If someone were to force me to sit in front of a computer and recite their filth out loud I don't think I'd be able to stop laughing at the completely awful presentation. It seriously looks like some deep-south 3rd-grader with HTML 3.2 for Dummies sat down and designed a website about everything daddy said.

lol DCrazy... I just went to the KKK website (it's at the obvious URL) to see what you were talking about... hahaha, it hurts my eyes. How pitiful...
