I get some really bizarre spam…mail

Finance Minister Mr..P. Chidambaram has approved a Bill which comes into effect on 01.04.2009  and it states that all Privately owned companies need to give a minimum salary increase of 15% to all employees every six months.

This comes as a relief to petitioners appealing against the growing work hours in the Privately Owned organizations and which do not have a proper system to check overtime.

The bill also mentions that all employees be provided 20 days casual leave every year.

Please see the attached document for the list of companies which be brought under the umbrella of the Bill in the first round of implementation.

And if the name of your company features in the list, kindly circulate this mail among your colleague.
Pls refer the attached list of companies.

So thank you she28phool2c@yahoo.co.in for the weird email.

Please stop ringing me during the day when I am at work. If you must, leave a message on my answering service! Every day for the past week you’ve rung and not left a message. I bet you’re phone spam, if so please go away as my number is registered on the TPS.

Phone Spam

September 23rd, 2008 | No Comments | Filed in Personal

I had some phone spam yesterday from some American company doing an opinion poll.

Once I worked out it responded to buttons on my phone I spent a gleeful five minutes prodding random buttons. Then, tiring of this I hung up… but the other end didn’t… for ten minutes until an operator came on to take my details so they could send me my winnning prize.

So I hung up on him instead, which seemed to clear the line.

Next time I may respond with “Autorisation code please… what? how did you get this number. Forget you ever called and never call back, this is an unlisted number” :)

Why am I getting so much spam on my main website? It’s unbelievable. Utter random gibberish, I though Akismet was good?

Off to bed, lots of things to do tomorrow.

Weird Japanese spam

June 27th, 2006 | No Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

I wonder if this will come out OK, never added non-ASCII characters to this before. After wondering what all this Japanese spam was I ran the following through Babelfish…

Quote: Japanese spam
�?�ょ�?��?�大胆�?��?��?��?��?�。
申�?�込ん�?��?�ら後悔�?��?��?�る�?�ん�?�絶対�?�?��?��??�?��?�。

�?�ゆり

It comes out as:

Quote: Translated Japanese spam
Just a little it was too bold. After applying, you have regretted, how we would not like to think without fail. Lily

No, makes even less sense doesn’t it. I wonder what retranslating it comes out as…

Quote: Retranslated Japanese spam
Exactly a little that excessively was bold. After the application, you do not desire the fact that we think how securely, you regretted. Lily

Yet more dali spam…

Quote: Spam
and diffusing an odor of scent, stumbled against them on the stairs, and stood aside, evidently admiring Kitty, whom he did not know. A beardless youth, one of those society youths whom the old Prince Shtcherbatsky called “young bucks,” in an exceedingly open waistcoat, straightening his white tie as he went, bowed to them, and after running by, came back to ask Kitty for a quadrille. As the first quadrille had already been given to Vronsky, she had to promise this youth the second. An officer, buttoning his glove, stood aside in the doorway, and stroking his mustache, admired rosy Kitty. Although her dress, her coiffure, and all the preparations for the ball had cost Kitty great trouble and consideration, at this moment she walked into the ballroom in her elaborate tulle dress over a pink slip as easily and simply as though all the rosettes and lace, all the minute details of her attire, had not cost her or her family a moment’s attention, as though she had been born in that tulle and lace, with her hair done up high on her head, and a rose and two leaves on the top of it. When, just before entering the ballroom, the princess, her mother, tried to turn right side out of the ribbon of her sash, Kitty had drawn back a little. She felt that everything must be right of itself, and graceful, and nothing could need setting straight.

I love this kind of spam, I really do. It’s so stupid. As if I’m going to visit some website that advertises by sending me random blocks of text, funny subject lines, and embedded images containing the actual advert.

I think they win the award for “the most number of commas in a paragraph”. It’s like someone, who can’t quite grasp English, has written some text, that doesn’t make a lot of sense, and forgotten to add full stops, or word it in a way we can remember the start when we’re at the end, and then forgotten to proof read it.
