PC World rounded up some of their own best/worst spam messages and published them for your amusement. Included in the “straight to the spam folder” notes was a “business” opportunity that read, “This opportunity may be a bit more hands-on than I’d like.” Other amusing messages? “No, no! Into the store, into the store!”, “This one looks promising. I know I can’t afford very republican prices,” and “Is that anything like the vapours?”
Now that you’ve heard some of theirs, we’d like to hear about yours. Hit up your spam folder or search your memory for the most amusing message in the bunch, then tell us about it in the comments.

Is spam a problem still? Don’t email programs now filter them all out. I don’t think I’ve received a spam email in years.
What filter are you using?!??!?!?!?!
Where can i buy it?
I have the following:
– MS Outlook Mail Client
– Altn MDaemon Mail Server
– ESet NOD32 Antivirus
And actively add emails to the block list so your filter learns.
If you are still getting phishing emails, viagra emails and Nigerian scams then something is wrong on your end.
Pitty im not at work, which is where i have all my best email spams. My absolute favorite ones are the Russian meet up ones, my favorite one had lines that went something like “You are disturbed by meeting agency” and the lady “Visited the fitness center regularly to support the figure and feel vigorously”
What a girl :)
The best one I ever was one of those russian meet up too.. it started with:
Dear {firstname}
Two that made us laugh at work:
“Fly your meat rocket to the pleasure skies”
and
“I drink red wine in company of my cats”
