stupid spammer

Today I get this spam

Subject: It's definitely worth it
Message: No one has claimed our jackpot! This is your chance to try! Go here

No casino name, no graphics, and NO LINK. If this is an affiliate, they're going to starve to death.

Not my area of expertise (I don't really have one let's be fair), and I'm no doubt preaching to the converted but just in case, if you don't click Spam on these then, if I'm correct -

The spammer has got an email through to your address successfully which you haven't reported and it has the subject/content casino or poker in it too which should make it easier for them to get their real spammy stuff through to you in future.

So even if it looks innocuous always hit that spam button in your email client.

I don't respond..I also block the addy AND domain..and of course, it makes sense to have an email ONLY for casino stuff

This was already flagged as spam by my ISP, they're actually pretty good - almost too good because some of my real mail gets tossed into the spam folder too.

Most of these types of spam come from forged email addresses so you can't really block them by email or domain. I have a whole library of rules I've set up over the last few months though - anything containing of the hotwords I've set gets binned immediately.

The downside though, if I win a trip to ROME or THEBES to watch HOT VIDEOS with Tony VIGARA (really how many ways can they spell that?) unfortunately I won't get the notification. oh well.
