Spammers Getting Creative

Junk Mail. Spam. Crap. Whatever you want to call it, we've all got it. And depending on your office's email controls, you see more or less of it than others. For some reason, even though I've got my settings on high, I get an inordinate amount of it.

Lately, I’ve noticed that the spammers are getting more creative, even humorous in some instances. They’ve broken away from the standard Cialis/ Viagra/ Increase Your Manhood emails to subject lines that could (almost) be believable!

I’ve compiled some of the more interesting ones that I've received, for your amusement.

Enjoy! (I've left all original spelling and formatting in tact.)
