PLEASE DONATE YOUR KIDNEY OVER THE INTERNET TO INDIA
If you don't want to travel internationally, you could go to the kidney National hospital. Their rates are competitive and in USD.

Have you ever got a business proposal from a dictator's wife? Didn't think so, you losers!

This one is actually from a completely legit eshop I occasionally use. I suppose Jana is their new intern, and Vladimir was training her (the only text that doesn't look like a template is "Hi Vladimir" just above the heading in the middle). The next training will probably start with "touch this button and lose an arm".

Not actually email, but I was amused:
-
@boomzilla Since you've now got a post queue, does that mean we won't get any more amusing spam threads?
-
@hungrier The registration queue catches a lot of spammers and the post queue seems to be doing a decently good job of catching their first posts. So, yeah, until they get more patient and start with real posts that get upvoted before they try to spam, it's unlikely.
-
@hungrier I didn't even get a reply which was clearly aimed at me.

The linked video is a random video of mine of a very niche game which maybe 30 people in the world actively play anymore, so I find it hilarious that it was selected for this spam email which describes it as having great potential to reach a mass audience.

Against my better judgement, I went there, but it's just a general domain parking 'related links' site.

That's not all that was not collected!

OK, not really spam, but JFC twitter sends a lot of email. Plus just general for the subject, which I suppose is some kind of inside joke or whatever...
-
Man, I heard it was a bad thing for it to last four hours, and now you're convincing me it's desirable to have one for six hours? I can't even stand for that long, let alone maintain erectness! Wait, aren't those the same thing?

The subject is likely inspired by Pulp Fiction or from when it was used in Duke Nukem 3D, though it might well be that somebody quoted that more recently to do with Dota?
-
@jbert It's also used in Viscera Cleanup Detail.

@tsaukpaetra Ya know, if I wanted medical help getting hard, I wouldn't choose a pill called Viagra Soft.

You spelt 'Electronics' wrong, but get points for opening with 'I am Fancy'.NFC why spammers fake 'RE:' on the spam, am I supposed to forget I haven't spoken to you before?

Some people are dumb enough to think that "RE:" at the beginning of the subject line still means "regarding" in English-speaking countries. Even though that's redundant...

*sheepish*
-
@tsaukpaetra I mean, it sort of still does, but more like "Regarding your previous email, with the subject of:". But that's long and wordy, and "Re:" is easy.

Hey anti-bot algorithm engineers, if a bunch of people private message someone for the first time ever with exactly the same message, that's a pretty big red flag.

I love the nearly random usage of technical terms. We've gone up from a VB GUI for haxxoring though, this one's JS
I need to add "bitcoin" as a word filter on the spam appliance, this made it to my inbox.
-
@cursorkeys Confuse users with technobabble! Genius! Also, I like the Preface of "If you don't be a porn fan, nothing will happened with you." So, if you're a porn fan, they used the webcam to record you masturbating to porn. If you're not a porn fan, they did nothing but still sent a blackmail letter despite having nothing to blackmail you with.
But what would happen if you're not a porn fan, but still watch and masturbate to porn? Do they ignore those people despite being able to get blackmail footage? So many questions!

Those are public chat messages. Those bots literally just stand in high-traffic areas (that's the Grand Exchange) and an auto-typer enters the same spam chat message over and over.
They do get banned pretty quickly, but banning them doesn't really accomplish much -- they just register a new account and they're right back at it. I'm not sure if the botting software does this all by itself, or requires some manual intervention, but it's basically a game of whack-a-mole.

Back when I played RuneScape, "From [username]" meant a private message.

@ben_lubar oh -- I think you're right. I'm not used to seeing PMs mixed in with the general chat, since there's an option to move them above it.

I think you miscapitalized that, the real hidden name of the game is RunEscape.

What I find most amazing about this penis enlargement spam is that it's addressed to Elizabeth Davis, who was apparently born in 1199. That's some zombie guacamole right there.
