That thing you spoilered actually marks the onset of another trial period.
-
Indeed, but a trial of a different sort.

Your 30 day complimentary Russian-Bride details are listed below.
You can keep the bride for as long as you like, but on day 31 she starts insulting you.
-
Sounds just like my marriage!
-
on day 31 she starts insulting you.
That's ok. I don't speak Russian, so I won't know what she's saying anyway.
-
Are they even trying anymore?
-
Why try when it makes virtually no difference to the success rate?
-
They actually do better if it's worse. They only want to reel in the absolute least skeptical people they can, not the ones who go through a couple of messages and then realise it's a scam

Anyone can see that it is a cat :)

It was a morning event, so there would have been light beers and dark light.

What sort of spammer thinks that complimenting my "escarpment" is going to woo me?
I would guess it is a literal translation from Russian. Escarpment translates as "ĐşŃŃŃĐžŃŃŃ" or "ĐşŃŃŃиСна" which in Russian describes the state of being steep. Additionally it is a slang for "coolness". "Cool" in Russian would be "ĐşŃŃŃĐž" (as adverb) or "ĐşŃŃŃОК" (as adjective).
It might be Olga was so impressed with how cool you are that she borrowed an account of her friend Jonathan just to write you an e-mail and you've missed out because of translation difficulties.

Got this one this morning (defanged (although it may not stay that way if you quote it; yeah, Discourse.) and my email obfuscated, but sender's domain named-and-shamed):

</html>Yes, there's a blank line in the middle of the headers (so the rest of them become part of the body), some of the should-be headers are repeated, and there's no blank line between the should-be headers and the real body. (On the receiving side, the garbage before the HTML prevents the client from recognizing and interpreting the HTML, so it just shows the raw text.) How do you even get a mailer to screw the basic email format up so badly?

My mom was worried about this one because it got through to her inbox:
-
MICROSOFT OUTLOOK WINDOWS is my favorite company,
-
Wow, you win half a million dollars and a crappy entry-level phone!
-
Microsoft out look windows sky blue thinking is
-
I got one! I got one.
I think I'll give these people a call. They don't know me from Adam so I can spin them any line I would care to. And they certainly appear to take the confidentiality thing to the limit.

"I specialize in PHP contract recruitment, but I understand that if you apply for a job I may not be the right person for you to speak with."
-

Demand they release your details, too. Damnable hostage-takers.
-
And let them know who I am so they can send me a ransom note? But then, that's the Welsh for you.

I think I'll give these people a call.
When they answer, be sure to ask for "Recruiter.Recruiter.RecruiterName." I hear he's a real go-getter.

Nah!, He would be too namely recursive [spoiler]anally retentive[/spoiler]

Not too sure what to do / make of that implication.

Do you have problems with voice-activated elevators as well as other problems related to speaking Welshly?
Also, my mistake, the comedy bit I was thinking of was talking about Scottish accents.
-
Yes, I thought the Welsh thing might be the issue :)
I don't speak or understand Welsh, and I don't have a problem with those that do. If anything a welsh accent has it's appeal. The only problem I may have is in response to those (Welsh) that have a problem with the English, in that they have simply failed to learn their lesson
Because I am British, I have learnt to understand the, obligatory, single phrase in every spoken language: "Please speak louder until I can understand you"
still don't understand why you need to bring elevators into it though. All they do it lift you up when you need it and let you down, gently, when they have to
-
I heard somewhere that there is no letter 'J' in welsh. Seems ironic when half of them are named Jones...

Sounds like Jones, but probably spelt lllgoglllones

You're optimistic. I'd have guessed llahgwnllys.

Hi Maciej,
I'm [redacted], a Software Engineer at [redacted]. We're a startup trying to fix the tech recruitment processes. We've come across your profile, and have been impressed with your open source contributions on Github. After analyzing your code contributions we think you might make a good match as a Fullstack Developer at [redacted]
(...)
As a fullstack developer at [redacted], you will need to have a solid Javascript knowledge and preferably some PHP experience as well (also, a good knowledge of Angular.js, HTML5 and CSS3 would be a plus).Your salary would be between 40,000 and 60,000 euro(...)
Well get yourself some better analysts, because my "open source contributions on Github" include:
- a Discourse API in C# that I really don't have time to deal with, so it's like 3 files
- an ugly-looking (but working quite well) WPF dictionary program for my uni
- an even-uglier looking camera feed processing program, also for my uni, that requires arcane knowledge to even run without crashing
- some scratch PHP code, I think I wanted to do something but it's all empty files
- a DICOM image browser in WebForms and JavaScript from back when I had no idea how ASP.NET works

Longest subject:
BANK OF AMERICA (BofA) DEPT: Credit Control / Telex Dept. ADVISE: Your Foreign Payment Notification Attention Beneficiary, Your Foreign payment is here with the Bank of America, New York, but we want to confirm before releasing the fund to your nominating Partner, did you authorize Mrs. Patricia Sanders from Charlotte, North Carolina to come and claim your ATM Visa card worth of $1.500.000 dollars on your behalf? Please if you did not authorized anybody to claim the ATM Visa Card get back to us for more informations. Yours faithfully, Dr.George Wayne Chairman & CEO Office Bank Of America New York USA
Yes, that's subject, not the body.

Mail APIs IME often have the body parameter before the subject parameter. This always seems backwards to me. Message box APIs, too.

I got this email. There are no links in it. There is some blue underlined text, though. Apparently the scam is that they confuse people to death?
Bonus: according to iplocation.net, the email was sent from India.

-
I got one from
info@mail.org
I especially like how they used the UK spelling of check and then listed the amount in US dollars. Also, randomly switching fonts throughout the email was a nice touch.

Also, randomly switching fonts throughout the email was a nice touch.
It's a mark of a very special level of incompetence. Even if they were legit, I'd still be strongly tempted to refuse to deal with them for that alone.
-
I send you so many mails but all bounced back
Good.

Apparently Microsoft is running a lottery and using a Yahoo email address to hand out the winnings. And apparently I'm a user of something called MSN-WORD.
-
using a Yahoo email address
Which will happen first? They start using outlook.com addresses or they fix their bootloader wrecking bug?

fix their bootloader wrecking bug
It's not a bug, it's a feature; after all, there's only One True Operating System
