Sometimes I cannot, for the life of me, understand what spammers are thinking. For that matter, I am not even certain they have more than a single brain cell left. Take this one for example, sending eight messages in a single minute:

Eight spam messages in a single minute

Now, look, I get it. They are really trying to get attention. But really, do they think this message will actually accomplish anything?

I mean seriously, all of these messages just hit my spam filter and got dumped into a folder for me to double-check.

But, if it was just these eight messages I might have forgiven it as a one-off, drive-by spamming. But no, that was just the spam from tonight. They've been at this for two weeks now. Every few days they drop by the site that has that contact form, spam eight messages at me, and move on.

I mean, it would be funny if it weren't so pathetic: there are fifty-six messages from this spammer in my folder. And they've been doing this exact same thing every time: spam eight messages and then move on.

But, they are trying to be a bit strategic… They don't do it every day. It seems they are on some kind of rotation: doing their spamming once every two-three days. Like that is going to make any kind of difference???

Do they really think this going to work? Does it ever work on anyone? I mean, I just have to wonder: where are their brain cells hiding?

There are a total of one hundred and sixty-six messages in my spam folder. They make up fifty-six of them, that is over one third of the spam messages in that folder. Guess it makes the cleanup all that much easier.
