Weird spam names

Friday, 16 April 2004

In the past week or so I’ve been getting spam with really weird names in the ‘From’ line.

Earlier today I had one claiming to come from Consolidate C Chicken. Well, ‘Hi, Consolidate’.

Just a couple of minutes ago I had one which said it was from Hallucinate T. Cherokee with the subject line Pete I’m having a bad day. Well, I’m not surprised with a name like that. Turned out to be just another ad for Viagra containing yet more generated poetry in an attempt to get around spam filters.

Bizarre stuff.
