Some spam, if it can be called that, confuses me. This is one of them:
**From:** <eddie@XXXXXXXXXX> > **To:** <sean@conman.org> > **Subject:** where are you, man ? > **Date:** Sun, 9 May 2004 01:34:31 +0000 >
We need to talk, ASAP (As Soon As Possible). Call me.
That's it. “We need to talk, ASAP. Call me.” No salutations, no name (other than “Eddie”), no phone number.
I don't know anyone named Eddie. Ed, yes (an uncle), but no one from the domain of XXXXXXXXXX, and most certainly no Eddie. I checked the domain out, and it's registered to an Eddie Zhao of Brooklyn, New York, and the site points to a Yahoo store [1] that currently doesn't exist, and the IP (Internet Protocol) address in the email comes from Japan. So if this guy is trying to sell me something, he's doing a rather poor job of it.
“Call me.”
Call you?
Idiot.
