I get so much spam that it’s getting ridiculous. Most are a complete waste of time, but I just got one that I found amusing. Not so much for the message, but for the fact that it was address to me at [email protected] and to six other hams with an arrl.net e-mail address. The message was titled, “Nature’s Love Scent,” and had the following message:
Secretly Attract Women or Men
Ever wonder why some people are always surrounded by people Who Admire Them? Join the popular ones at [[URL of Nature’s Love Scent website.]]
Now, I know amateur radio operators are not known for being especially attractive (especially after 24 hours of Field Day), but honestly, how did they come to single out hams for this spam? I went to QRZ.COM and actually looked up each of the other hams to whom this message was sent. Unfortunately, none of them had a picture posted, so I couldn’t tell if they used that as a criterion for sending them this email. At any rate, I’m doing OK using my own scent, thanks.
