BlackBerry A Spam Target? – Protect Your Moby Dick
I was just reading about how spammers are targeting our BlackBerrys for spam. Makes sense since I read (& delete) more of my emails on my BlackBerry.
I then read Stan’s article about the ridiculous Spamlets he has been receiving recently and I cant help but agree. 50% of the spam I get nowadays is pure junk. It is just 3–4 lines of gibberish! Are they just testing to see what they can get to pass our spam filters? About a week ago I also started getting parts of Moby Dick as spam!!!
I get one of the business deals from Nigeria or South Africa every day. I also got this one and tons more like it:
rude tabloid about
inside fundraiser living with completely bubbles
So I thought I would have a bit of fun today. Leave a comment with the best/funniest spam message you have received today. Please be nice/courteous and edit out the overly explicit parts.

We’ll block the white whale and all kinds of other spammy fish.
Those emails definately come out of north Africa, South African’s are some of worst victims of those scam’s, its scary the ignorance of many people.
I got spam on my BB email address, even though I never posted it anywhere. Spammers started getting clever and were able to guess addresses. My solution (which has worked for the past 2 years) is to make your BB email address totally random, and always have a 3rd party forward to that address. So I’m saef48.as__f4@tmo.blackberry.net, but since I never give out that address anyways, who cares what it is.
