Odd Spam
My email address for this domain gets hit with a lot of spam. It doesn’t bother me too much; I don’t use this account very much, and Apple’s spam filter does a good job of catching it. What I have noticed, however, is a change of subject lines.
I peak quickly through the list of email headers to make sure the filter hasn’t been too aggressive. For a while, I was getting spam that had incomprehensible subject headers. Now I’m getting news headlines. Do the spammers want to keep me up to date on the latest news while selling me black market Viagra? If I was more gullible, and if I didn’t get 50 copies of the same email, I might think that these letters were legit. That is, until I opened them.
