You won’t believe me, but this morning I received a SPAM e-mail in one of my e-mail accounts, which was marked :SPAM: by the spammer!

I opened the e-mail just out of curiosity – such a polite spammer, he (or she) should deserve 5 more seconds of my time. I also thought it could be a joke from someone – who knows?

Funny, when I discovered that the message which warned me in the SUBJECT that it was SPAM, was actually… SPAM!

Below the subject was a nice invitation to type manually some URL that the spammer was trying to promote, and after that the usual stuff – “B1uy V1аGr$а, CiаLi$, etc.”.

I was stunned. Is this a new way of gaining attention? Sure… because everybody knows subjects like:

“This is NOT SPAM. Important information inside!”

…no longer work as expected, and I bet that you’ll delete message with such title immediately.

But imagine that you receive another email with the following subject:

“[THIS IS SPAM] We’ll try to sell you V1agrа in this email!”

Chances are, curiosity might win in this case.

And you’ll open it, just to be sure this is not a joke;-)

Well, maybe only the first time… After that, you’ll delete the messages no matter marked or nor marked as SPAM (and keeping cursing and sending spammers to hell;-)… But anyway – good try:)

Spammers try to keep up to date…

Yes, I give this one 4 our of 5 for sense of humour.

And no, I didn’t type the link manually in my browser:D
