It seems that the spammers are starting to branch out a bit to beg for people's attention... unfortunately. However, I couldn't help but laugh at this one:

Greetings,

We need a vendor who can offer immediate supply.
I'm offering $5,000 US dollars just for referring a vender which is

1. The mind warper generation 4 Dimensional Warp Generator # 52 4350a
series wrist watch with z60 or better memory adapter. If in stock the
AMD Dimensional Warp Generator module containing the GRC79 induction
motor, two I80200 warp stabilizers, 256GB of SRAM, and two Analog
Devices isolinear modules, This unit also has a menu driven GUI

great if reliable models are available

Official Response:

NO vendors of said equipment are going to sell to anyone who's actually LOOKING for it.

You're either IN, or you're OUT.

What I don't understand (there are lots of things... but about this specifically), is what benefit this is to the spammer. What does he get by sending people this crap? Is there an ad in the email for something?

*confused*

Maybe he is hopping he will get lucky!

Or most likely, this message fell through a time warp from the 26th century. Or he is just having fun. [Big Grin]
