ok so spam is im sure an annoiance for most if not all of you but ive been recieving these strange emails that seem so obtuse that they must surely be some kind of artwork not one, however, i much enjoy heres the format, an html email always from a different address and url, the mail will have some random subject the latest was "/It is therefore quite laughable that Lula is against sexual tourism./" the email body has a jpg of some text scrambled to make it hard to read, the text usually about some companies share prices or some other kind of wall street style jargon. then beneath the image there are a couple of paragraphs of garbled text that seem to be a mishmash of at least two differnt sources heres a snippit " /you my friend are the problem! WITH YOUR OWN MONEY ! She faced the challenge and the CNBB approved the project she presented. their next big salary7perks increase. The study considered four activities forms of commercial sexual exploitation: prostitution, trafficking of children and adolescents, pornography, and sexual tourism/." its not exactly bill burrows but their fairly odd i get about 3-6 of these a day, if it is someones art piece ive unwittingly involved myself in by leaving an email address at some gallery then perhaps more fool me anyway the million dollar question is how can i find out the source of these emails? either to stop them or to contextualise them tia simon
