« A Spammer by any other name... »

I’ve got mail from:

• Millicent Pineda
  
• Thurman Larsen
• Ava Russo
• Shuracov
• Cherokee Shelby
• Archie Brittingham
• Johnny Pierson
• Leonel Villegas

… just to name a few.  All spammers, the crumby lot of them.  But I wonder, were they ever real people? Are they still?  Do they know they are being exploited by spammers?

:-)

… did you ever wonder where the spammer names come from?

I just googled one - good old Johnny Pierson lives in Irvin, Texas.

My favourite are the spam names that are so elaborate as to never be an actual person.

Like Magnificent V. Hopscotch.

I like to write stories about these folks.
