I keep getting these strange emails (almost daily) that appear to contain part of some strange storyline? The content varies so i'm not even sure they are all about the same theme.
Does anyone know what this it's all about?
Here is a sample.
"The stranger suddenly remembered something. Im a good bit obliged toThey raved about the freedom of the West; they went into fresh rapturesJune in Manitoba, when the tender green of grass and leaf is bathed inover the view, and almost deranged their respiratory organs in their that result in of the Neanderthal man grandma shell lowest ledge and rubber box clambered upward, ...."

These emails contain a small image that the sender uses to test whether your email address is a valid email address. Turn off automatic downloading of images to prevent this. Once your email is verified as being read, it's worth a lot more to spammers and they'll sell it around.

Spammers usually include meaningless text when there is no other content that they can put in the mail. And you will probably see a link at the end or beginning of the message. It is the link that is important to them. They are advertising the link. Rest is useless and meaningless.
They probably copy and paste these texts from wherever they find it. This one looks like it has been copied from a web site or an ebook. It is probably a story...

Its a test e-mail to see if your account is active. Its basically written in English language structure to get past any spam filters, its just that all the words are 'safe' words to bypass the filters.
I think they use this gibberish text because its extremely difficult to block it. Its deliberatley random, instead of a piece of text by Shakespeare for example, because its impossible for your spam filters to learn to block it!
When you open them it can e-mail back home to let them know th account is active so its best just to delete them.

Yeah -
These kinds of entries seem to show up, a lot, on YA -
But only on weekends. . .
Just ignore them (especially when they show up in your emails)
Monday is just a day away - and the sun'l come out, tomorrow!!!
