Today's spam email from the lovely Natasha. Probably a 6ft 2" miner from Slovenia, don't hold your breath on a reply love

"Hello!
Your profile caught my attention and I wanted to write and say hello. I want that we write each other and I hope, that you will like my profile and you will answer me.
I want to get acquainted with you and to learn you better. If I have interested you also, I ask to write to me on my email:
If you will write to me on my email Viktor dot Nikiaforov at yandex dot ru I shall necessarily send you a photo. I shall wait for your answer.
Natasha"

Do you think Natasha's real name is Viktor?

Nope - the spam was sent with lots of different embedded addresses - all somewhere in .ru though! Whoever she is I am convinced you don't want to make her acquaintance

I've had this one three times this morning already.

Makes you wonder how people manage to be taken in by them

I've edited the email addys. If we're going to post these up, can we please edit the emails in it for two reasons:

1) there may be someone daft enough to actually try them
2) more importantly, the spammers will likely be trawling the internet for their addresses, might steer them away, might steer them towards, but any visibility is bad visibility for spamming/scamming scum...

Noted.
