I’ve noticed recently that professional email spammers must be hiring professional writers, at least for their Subject lines. Gone are the days when the majority of spam I received was “You’re cute xl889x” or “Urgent Needed” or my favorite, “jaynes kluz qcx l ldru.”
Nowadays, I’m receiving spam that looks like it should have come from long-lost friends (I’m sorry we lost touch to those of you who are reading this and are long-lost). For instance, today’s spam Subjects include “Please visit” and “Hey..” and my favorite, “What happened to you?”
