Title: How low can you go..
Post by: Rupert on February 21, 2014, 03:58:39 PM
OK, I get pretty hardened to the spam emails trying to persuade me to click on a link or part with money.  But this one makes me cring.  Really  horrible. Gross by name and Gross by nature:

As an SEO sometimes I get resentful of being lumped in with these guys.

I love the fake name 'Joshua Gross", kind of apt ... maybe that's his subconscious letting the guilt seep out.

Hope that the next generation of old folk who are most vulnerable to these scams will have enough internet savvy to know not to click, and the scams will die out.

Wishful thinking perhaps.

Its a good point though, the next gen probably won't fall for all that crap, they'll be able to read email headers and then pingflood Joshua Gross's IP.
