This year has brought me something new in the way of spam. Where once the 'sender's name' tended to be garbled, implausible or just plain alphabet soup, I am now receiving a lot of spam which claims to have been sent by people with perfectly normal names. For the record, this is all on one of my mail accounts, and mostly - though not invariably - promoting loyalty bonuses at US shops (despite the account in question being a .co.uk).

This morning's example came from Daniel Webster.

[livejournal.com profile] durham_rambler has just fielded a cold call from someone whose name he did not catch. "This doesn't require you to do anything," they said. He said "OK," and hung up.

It's been a long time since my spam contained anything of interest, but there's something about today's harvest that - well, I don't know, but there's certainly something about it! Someone is trying to recruit me to drive for Uber; someone thinks I should buy my 'jewelry' online to cut middleman expenses; and someone invites me to "Win a trip to meet Dr Strange" (and what a long, strange trip that would be...).

The latest spam comment to my LJ is a link promising "pussy porn". Why am I so certain this is going to be a disappointment?

We celebrate the holiday season with a huge upsurge in the spam supply. Fortunately, there are some good names. Today's stars are Moloch C. Sausage and Tagged K. Armchair

And I'd already hit "blacklist" on Mailwasher, when I spotted the elements in the text that made me feel this one was aimed at me:

For the last several months, someone has been spamming as from one of our domains: not actually from that domain, note, but spoofing a quite transparent return address. So a regular part of my morning routine is deleting the non-delivery notices, requests to prove human agency and out of office replies addressed to people who don't exist (well, Andromache Godfrey may exist, but her e-mail address is not inxtd[at] - I'm not actually going to publish which domain).

This stuff, in fact, becomes a form of spam in itself - and the system administrators know it, because they have started using spammers tricks to get their mail past filters. At least, I assume that's the reason I've just received an e-mail with the header: "Out of Office AutoReply: boiling fireman".
