Found the above tidbit in my "spam" box of gmail today. I guess "G"'s filter works ok when it wants to.

tonydnut · 05-25-2007, 10:26 AM

syedwasi87 · 05-27-2007, 02:11 AM

Jerlene · 05-27-2007, 02:44 AM

It's obviously not eBay. I've received lots of email from them and none of them had html like this one does.

tonydnut · 05-27-2007, 12:28 PM

Well whoever wrote this thing must have a helluva lot of time on their hands to sit and code that thing.

syedwasi87 · 05-27-2007, 12:42 PM

i dont think some one might have coded that much !! it must have been some error while sending some message...

Spam mails like these are the one which can really cause us trouble.
Some contains trojans which usually infects our computers and sends all the info to the spammers.
