Spam at Yahoo! Mail
I hardly use my Yahoo! e-mail account. It’s really only there to be used as a legit addy to give away when having to register something at any given website.
Lately, the only reason I find myself visiting my Yahoo! web mail account is having to do the arduous task of weeding out spam from my inbox. Yes, I have SpamGuard on but it doesn’t work too well. One thing I’ve noticed about some of the unwanted e-mail that manage to slip through are the senders’ names, e.g.:
Stachurski Saltz
Purkett Challa
Smack Crognale
Now I doubt these are real people’s names. There’s something vaguely ethnic about them. Are spammers now embracing multiculturalism as part of their aggressive marketing campaigns? Nah. No clever script can put together wonderfully perverted names such as these. I’d rather think that these are conjured up in some rogue marketer’s seedy home office somewhere out there. What else would he do all day?
