I am very impressed by how clever some spam mail writers are (I wonder if That would be your title, as in Bob Smith, Mass Electronic Message Writer or Jill Jones, eMarketing Messaging Publisher). The real amazing thing is that there is a huge group of people thinking of ways to write deceiving email headers so that innocent recipients are fooled into reading the message. Here are some examples of actual subjects on junk emails I’ve received:

did you hear about amy?
Hey sis, check this out
What time do you want me to come over?
Tonya said you were talking about me!!
Order confirmation #1237
I got the info you wanted
Is 10pm good for you?

And this leaves me wondering, after people get tricked into reading the email itself, do they ever actually sign up or buy any of the services?

Stumble it!
