Lame spam of the day: self-identified spam

May 15, 2012 by Robert Leave a Comment

This one is peculiar.  My name isn’t on the To line, and there’s no offer, link, or attachment. Lot’s of non-Western characters (or random text) in the subject & sender lines.  This message didn’t come from my anti-spam software and my ISP says it didn’t come from theirs.

To: ruhit_ray@hotmail.com
Sender:
³¯«É·ì (cyzwjchbxx@yahoo-inc.com)
Subject: *****SPAM***** Re: µ¹.§A¤£°µ§@ª½±µ-»ù¨C¤ù¥u­n26¤¸
