I come back from a 4 day break, and I get messages in my inbox.

They were pure spam / scam and Their email headline were things like

Incease the size and length today
Here is something to jump up and down about
Fountain of youth exists, here it is.

When i saw these pop up, I thought straight away, great, more lovely spam!

But i guess those guys actually have half a brain.

But this guy, is a world class moron,

he sent,...

'You have just won the british lottery, and have won $1,345,352'

Wow, I should be so lucky! lol

I guess the moral of the story is that you should not delete those emails, see if there are any subject lines that create interest or that have potential first.

    a lot of marketers don't realize just how much information you can glean from subject headers and the actual content of a lot of email. Granted, about 75% of the spam emails I get are absolute crap, no value at all. But that remaining 25% is very valuable.

    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

      The UK lottery payout is in dollars?

      I thought it would have been in P.

    • We all win the lottery every day we wake up and get out of bed.

      The question is: What will you do with your good fortune today? Will you squander it, or will you mint gold?

    Try going in the opposite direction, too...

    1. Your check for $32.48 just bounced.
    2. Your neighbor just won the British lottery.
    3. Your dog is cheating on you.
    4. We know what your significant other thinks.
    5. You're tripping over dollars to pick up quarters.
    6. You'll never win another lottery ever again.
    7. Reduce Your Risk of Airline Disaster to 1 in 11 Million

    Or whatever... I just get a big laugh from these things...

      Their hapless manager Murray invests the band funds into a Nigerian scam ..only thing is later on in the episode it turns out to be real and they get all their money back and then some - too good
