Man, I got tired of getting this piece of crap... I wonder why my gmail account didn't catch it at first glance, but well, nothing is perfect... especially if your email account is in beta stage... (At least it isn't in alpha...)
Replace the *** with your name / nickname...
Quote: | Hello my dear ***.
Again I receive your letter and I am very glad!
With each new letter we closer and closer to each other.
You know, for the small period of correspondence with you,
I have already understood, that I have become attached to you.
When I receive your letter, my life is filled with pleasure at once.
And you attachment to me? I think what yes if it so, that it is cool!
Today at me was the difficult working day.
As has passed your day, I hope that all well?
How is the weather at you?
I would like to send you a letter on your home address
write to me your full address and I shall make it
Nevertheless it is not so convenient, as it seems to me
the people speaks that the international letters very seldom reach addressee.
So you not surprise, that my letters too can not reach you.
But it seems to me that is easier to communicate through the Internet
Unfortunately, I do not have the a telephone in our apartment,
but I promise you that we shall speak by phone necessarily as I want to hear your
pleasant voice by phone. My Internet as very dear and me to have to save as
it is the allocated line and she expensive.
In general, I think that the Internet - this big achievement as people from two
different ends of a planet may communicate with each other freely
by the way, my mum and friends ask about you all time, especially my mum..
I have told to her, that you are decent and good male
my mum are very pleased to our correspondence on the Internet and our relations.
She wish to us a good relations in the future, she would want that we will be a
magnificent pair but remember, that we should a more learn each other
It's very important for me.
The fact in that, if you know, that on the statistics, majority of a pairs are separated,
because they knew each other not enough, and I do not want to do a mistake at once
I hope that you will can to understand me, Ok?
As I spoke you earlier, we must to learn about each other more and more from our e-mail.
I want continue with you the relation, though between us so a lot of distance,
I want see you beside me and speak with you.
While it only my dreams, I should return to a reality.
Ok, allow me to finish my e-mail.
By the way, my mum ask me to say to you hello from she!
It is usual. I will wait for your next message!
Please, write me soon!
I shall try to answer your new letter as it is possible soon.
I ask you send me your new photos.
Yours faithfully Lyubov. |
I'm not even sure we can really understand what this bad computer translated text might actually mean, we only know it's more spam and that's all...
I don't know what's worse here...
What really creeps me out is that in these series of letters I read once that this "person" was talking about "her" girlfriend.... Girlfriend? And this hacker does really want to steal my info after infecting my PC with the fearsome conficker virus (or worm?)? Or does this guy want to scare me to death with such a bad translation that wouldn't convince anyone ever? _________________ Seos nivo adgene Kizne tikelke

Your mail server or your browser's e-mail handler ought to have some kind of "spam filter" or "bulk-mail filter".
You should make sure it's turned on.
If the default options don't stop this stuff, the spam-filter ought to provide you the opportunity to create and enforce your own rules that will stop this and mark it as "spam".
If you're afraid your rule will also catch innocent e-mail, you ought to have the ability to put it into a "suspense" folder, or any folder at all for that matter (you can name it what you want), until you can decide whether or not to delete it.
Your rule can refer to the domain name of the sender, to the sender's username, to the sender's country, to character-strings in the subject, or to character-strings in the message body, among other things.

Well, you can do that.
You'd be blocking me, of course. I'm a Yahoo! user.
OTOH you should block stuff from Yyahoo, Yaahoo, Yahhoo, Yaho, and so on.
I used to get spam from some anus named Kenny Something who claimed to have a doctorate and to be a psychic. It came through Juno; I got nothing else through Juno; so I decided to block Juno. More experienced users advised me that was excessive.
OTOH while moderating CWBB I got nothing but spam from mainland China; and after reading about 'The Great Firewall of China' and about how their government controls and uses the InterNet their and seeing about their fakes for the Olympics, I decided to ban that whole country. It's the only time I've done such a thing (I've never even banned Nigeria!), but I never regretted it and no-one ever told me I shouldn't have done it. _________________ "We're the healthiest horse in the glue factory" - Erskine Bowles, Co-Chairman of the deficit reduction commission |

Well, unless you really want to read chinese spam, I don't see why you wouldn't do that if deemed necessary. _________________ Seos nivo adgene Kizne tikelke
