I think that spammers, the scourge of the email world, have become inherently more stupid and desperate lately. Below is a screen shot of an email that I received in my Spam Inbox this morning. The funniest part of the whole email is the part that I have highlighted. They are actually going to the trouble of telling me this email is not spam even though the sent from email address is from Israel (.il) and they want me to respond to a .yahoo email address and the person has what is apparently an Asian surname.
Anyway, it is idiots like this that are killing email for the rest of us. I find email to be an extremely useful tool, and I wish there was a way to find and punish the people who write these god awful scripts that generate this junk.
I know that my last statement seems a little off color, but when I think of someone with an Asian surname I don't usually jump up and say "That person is from Israel". Turns out I am probably right. Here is what, according to Wikipedia (I know, and I'm calling this spammer lazy, ironic huh?) says the population of Israel looks like:
