"Jennifer" from EMarketScreen Emails

Bigfishcomic · Post by **Bigfishcomic** » Wed Aug 16, 2006 3:55 pm

I got this email yesterday morning and after getting all excited, I google'd the company and it's...spam. Has anybody else recieved similiar emails?

>I'm assuming that bigfishcomic.com (Big Fish Comic) is your site.

I'm doing research for a company that will be writing an article about
sunday comics. This company is considering featuring your site in this article.
If your company is selected, they would place the article on their popular, online publication.

I would need to hear from you soon if you're interested in being featured. You can either reply
to this email or call 877-838-9862. Leave a message and I'll forward it to them so they can
return your call.

Thanks,
Jennifer

My spam is of different variety. Mostly people who want to lend me money. Wish I could bill them for clogging up my internet.

I dunno. I just delete every email from senders that I don't know

I get nothing but spam from people trying to sell me rolex's and viagra.

I get spam from companies that want me to buy their stock. I'm pretty sure that's a bad sign for the stock market: You Know The Market Is Overheated When... kind of thing.

Also, porn. But the porn spam I get is just... It's like they're not even trying anymore. H@t XXX skanks click HERE! But there's no link.

I just keep getting emails from some guy called welshdruid who wants my Ebay password. Oh, and the Bank of America needs my PIN or something.

I don't have accounts with either of those establishments, of course.

Strange. It seems too well-worded for ordinary spam, plus spams usually give you a site url, not a phone number. What exactly were they trying to lure you into?

I get that from time to time. Something along the lines of "hi, I'm so and so from a respectable sounding company, and we want to add your comic to our site because we're sooooo impressed with it, we want to help you increase your traffic, so yeah... just go ahead and add our advertisement banners all over your site. K thanks" >_<

Never got that one.

Trickiest thing I get is one from "customer service" saying, among other nonsense, that if I don't know why I got this email I should click the following link.

Although my favorites are:
"You have won the British national lottery!" - That might have been less obvious if I had ever been to Britain.
"Horny girls hungry for caulk." - I really don't think you should eat that.
"Free viagra with every prescription." - Gee, all I wanted was my heart medication, but I can't pass up free unnecesarry impotence drugs.
And finally a series offering to make your penis so large it will kill people.

I usually get Japanese prostitution e-mails, or people trying to sell me stock in crap companies.

Wow. Just three hours after my previous post, I won the lottery again! What are the odds?
This time it's the "Euro-Afro-American-Sweepstake Lottery." The first prize was "$1100,000,00 Million dollars" but because I won second-prize I only get "Eighty Hundred and Twenty Thousand United States Dollars." Still, winning second prize is pretty impressive when the participants were "extracted from over 10,000,00 companies and Individuals" "selected randomly from World Wide Web site."

Wow! You're so lucky! I bet you'll be off to go live in your golden lottery bought mansion whilst enjoying having a bigger pen15 2day!
