Spam & Bounced Email

Spammers have become very creative. They now send under all types of false pretenses to get you to open the email. It amazes me how much creativity they have. Why don't they use their creativity in constructive ways? Don't you think they would make more money if they used their mind in something constructive way rather than sinister ways?

You wonder what is the thought process that goes into the mind of a person who gets up everyday in the morning and goes to work to figure out how to annoy the world with emails; in short screw the world. It has to be very degrading!

And why would you want to always be on the wrong side of the law. You would think that after doing it once or twice you would give up and say this is too hard and I need to find gainful employment where I can hold my head high.

I also wonder how they describe their job. Say if they are at a party or social event and someone asks what do you do for a living, how must they respond. Obviously, they hide what they truly do and come up with some politically correct explanation.

I used to get emails that were just plain flat spam. Once the ISP's started blocking them then they started becoming more creative. They started sending emails looking like bounced emails. So you are curious to open to see which email bounced. Only to find an ad. I don't worry anymore about bounced emails. I just forward the bounced email to 'Find at Switch email dot com' and if it is genuine they find me the new email address.

Then the spammers started sending emails with attachments. Again, preying on your curiosity to open and see what is in the attachment. Usually these attachments are viruses or spyware cleverly disguised as a 'offer letter' or 'bank statement'. I never open any attachments if unknown to me.
