This One Slipped Through the Ol' Spam Filter








I'm a professional voice teacher and I occasionally post an ad on Craigslist to advertise for new students. I honestly don't understand, in what universe, how these people and their spambots think anyone will respond to their brainfever emails.

First it's from "NEWTON WHITE". The all-caps a is a requirement for spammers, apparently.

Then the greeting, "Yup Im Mark." Mark, Newton, Mark...make up your mind.

I can't imagine what about my ad for voice lessons gave NEWTON/Mark the idea I'm "inspired with homes" nor why he thought I'd be at all "impressed with how fast [he] learned" anything, since he can neither spell, nor create an even moderately successful marketing pitch.

And lastly, he appeals to my emotions, "get extra presents this year for your loved one." A generous man, NEWTON/Mark is.

  1. What I love about the marketing savvy (why isn't one v enough?) is that how long do we have to wait till they are gender savvy?

    How many feminine hygeine ads wasted on men? porn sites on nuns? jenny craig on bulemics? Where is their tuning?

    I have to get penis enlargement ads?

    What about those sales companies that end up pitching you for months, trying to motivate you to spend $200 bucks to change your life with a sales job. They are the ones with the sales job.

    This is your last chance on this opportunity!! Act now e-mails!! Seriously, we should be able to hold them to their promise by at least a month. I got one lady Mary Gerstein, after 8 months, now she practically threatens me with illness, or catastrophic life events if I do not ACT NOW!

    Your hair could fall out, you could get in a car wreck, you better act now! I would like to send her a this is your last chance to send me an e-mail, cause I am changing my e-mail address tomorrow. Sorry, too late!
