thewayneI keep spam email that I find mildly interesting, and I have five from: Madison, Madison Chan, Madison Hastings, Madison Call, and Madison Reece. The first and the last two are identical messages, all of them imply previous x-rated contact in a chat room. All five in the last month.
I've also been getting a lot of "problems with your IRS return" and one that was kind of cool: an email saying that I'd gotten a traffic ticket in some municipality that I've never heard of. That was new, but still just a variation on a theme.
The other thing amusing me is Live Journal spam replies. I've turned on filtering so that anonymous replies on my LJ are screened and have to be approved by me, so they never get through, but you'd think that a person leaving such would check to see if it's visible. There are two things that I find odd about the LJ spam is they're not always appearing on my latest posts, they sometimes go kind of deep into my blog and post replies to things that are a couple of years old. I know most of these are search engine link farming, but there are a number of these that are brief messages with no links, so I'm not sure what to make of those.
