Heh!

Yes - there is such thing as a meme with ten questions. Ten things you hate, no less! Lol.

1. Chain letters!

Moving on. :P

I got the weirdest looking spam today. Mailwasher blacklisted it, but I decided to look at the full header before processing my mail and having it deleted.

The laughable thing is that the From line looks like this:

From: "Anti-fraud support" ebanking@bxs.com

Uh-huh!

Reply-To: cas@bmstech.com.sg

the "View complete header" in Mailwasher is very useful, it's a good way of being sure an email you received is actually spam so you can blacklist it.

If there's html at the beginning of the message, it gets displayed without doing any damage, it's not like opening and email and clicking on a link to malware.

But this spam message's html is laughable too.

font-family: Veranda;

It's "Verdana" genius!

Must've been a hoaxter/chain letter originator who came up with this idea, you know how many of them can't type or spell.

And yes, the spammer got blacklisted! They'll keep getting blacklisted every time they try to send me anything.
