OT?: If you need proof that spammers use the same resources as
us...
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Call me paranoid, but a few weeks back I posted a couple of rules on this
list and to the exit0 wiki which were designed to catch a common phrase
seen in many 419 spams. Notably one which catches a common "allow me to
introduce myself" style opening.
It was not particularly clever, simply searching for the 2-word phrase
"introduce myself", but lo and behold this week I get:
"allow me to introduce my humble-self"
"must introduce,myself"
"to introduce my very self"
And various others. It appears to me a timely reminder, as if one were
needed, that some spammers know what measures are being used against them
and learn how to combat at least some of them.
Three cheers for Bayes and the SARE ninjas, then!
Kind Regards,
Craig.
