Why am I getting nonsense spam messages?
Question:
Why am I getting nonsense spam messages?
Answer:
Spammers have began to send those unfortunate users on their spam
lists nonsense or otherwise random spam message such as the example
shown below.
Example of nonsense spam:
Listen, oh shepherd who failed his duty. The hand that holds
you the container with the alien artifact. They had carried the
whole Youre the boss, Aida said. The dog scrambled back, barked
and I trotted behind Narcoses, clutching the papers and trying
to think interrupted meeting. I stripped away the interference
of the voice ego destroying instead of being ego building. You
suffer from the test circuit. We were: not aware of this at
first-and we instantly a bit out of the holster at the same
time, then letting it slide back. exhaustion and happiness that
only comes with an artistic job well
The primary reason spammers have began to use this tactic to
distribute their spam is to help bypass and otherwise cause problems
with the spam filters designed to help protect you from receiving
the spam. By sending nonsense e-mails the spammer can bypass
protection designed to block any mass e-mails with the same body
message and/or filters that rate spam from the complete body
message.
Finally it is also believed spammers are picking up on this
tactic as a method of causing spam filters to filter out both good
and bad words causing more spam filters to improperly detect valid
e-mails as spam messages and causing users to give up on spam
filters.
