strange spam
Over the last week I’ve recieved some strange spam. Each had a Chinese subject line, and contained one image with Chinese text, and nothing else. However, the weird part was the email addresses that the spam claimed to have originated from (There were a couple of earlier ones but I deleted them before noticing the pattern.):
- misuse333@yahoo.com
- of952@yahoo.com
- public721@yahoo.com
- funds814@yahoo.com
- by840@yahoo.com
- Liberals513@yahoo.com
- since841@yahoo.com
- they88@yahoo.com
- s157@yahoo.com
What could the spammers be trying to do here? Is this some kind of right-wing US/Chinese spammer conspiracy? Even Google doesn’t know.
They seem to be petering out now; either they aren’t being sent, or GMail is catching them — I have been hitting the “report as spam” button.
