Today, I received the following email. As I was about to press the delete button, I couldn’t help but ask myself if people actually respond to these type of messages. Have you received something similar to this?
Privet, gentleman
Sweetheart, if suddenly the Sun will stop shining, you will keep me warm!
If suddenly the Starts will hide behind the Moon, you will still give me so
much romance, which I never dreamt could be. If the Seas and Oceans will
overflow, we will sail away together. If our Earth will dry out and there
will be no single drop left, we will kill our thirst with our Love to each
other. Dear, the Sun and Stars and the Oceans are smiling only to us. If we will be together:. No, WHEN we will be together, none of disasters
will separate us. Because two of us will be the strongest power ever known.
I want to fall in love with you and have a family. I want to love life and
everything around, I want to hear words of love and I dream that I could
make you and us happy. Write to me to http://##### and don’t waste
our opportunity to be happy, dear.Waiting for your response

It literally takes five minutes just to read it due to all of the spelling and grammatical errors in the message. You’ve got to be a mind reader just to understand what the point of the message is.
SpamBully has been doing a great job of filtering out the junk mail that I receive on a daily basis. On average, I get about 60 SPAM messages per day, either from a “long lost lover”, a “Nigerian prince” who needs me to transfer his fortune through my bank account, or from a “Canadian pharmacy” website.
At first, you would think that there is no possible way anyone ever believes these messages or responds to them, but if that were true, why would so many people spend so much time and money sending out these messages?
What sort of SPAM do you usually receive? How many people do you think actually respond to them?

I get the ebay and paypal messages all the time. Like, ebay question about item xxxxx. It looks like its just like its from ebay, but its not.
Or, its a letter from paypal saying you’ve got to update your billing information. How stupid!

I get spams similar to that sometimes. One day when I got really annoyed at some of the stupid spams I foolishly replied telling them to “**** off!” I doubt it helped. They didn’t reply, if anything it just let them know I was checking that inbox and encouraged more spamming.

I get lots of spam for drug prescriptions for you-know-where - and somehow these must all work. I know for sure the “Nigerian prince” thing works a charm - I have seen newspaper reports here of people who have actually sent money as a result.
