Default I BUY YOUR BIKE

On a related but OT thread.....

Probably 75% of the 100 or so emails I get per day are ads for various off
shore pharmacies, software, knock-off watches and the like. Lots are now
trying to peddle me goods in Russian text, so I don't even know what they're
trying to sell me.

I have set up dozens of email filter rules via Outlook, so most get routed
to the bit bucket on the way in. Interesting that the spammers will go to
the effort of trying to mask the text in their mails (i.e. substituting "1"
for "i" and similar pattern matching) to try to fool the email filters. As
if someone (or company) who deliberately filters the original trash will
actually change their minds when the doctored email gets through the filter?

I'll be one happy guy when the big hand starts to slap these guys. What a
waste of oxygen.

I think this must be an example of a scammer email. Thanks for the
head's up!
