Weirdest spam in a while

VSarkiss on 2003-02-21T01:19:01

So I've gotten used to the spam about cheap Viagra, enlarging your penis, and enlarging your breasts (seriously, I've gotten both), and Nigerian riches (will that one never die?).

Today I got the weirdest one ever:

From: "CHINA" <china-lutong@ynmail.com>
Subject: RE,2/16

Dear Mr sir,
How are you? Nice to contact you again.We inform you that we are going to produce some VE h&r(diesel fuel injection) with following part

3-cyl:USD:55/1pcs
4-cyl:USD:40~50/1pc
5-cyl:USD:60/1pcs
6-cyl:USD:45~50/1pcs
numbers:
D=0964(DEOS)
Z=1464(ZEX)
A=1 468 (BOSH)
B=2 468 (BOSH)
D00-0143
And it continues for about 100 lines like that. I don't know anything about diesel engines, but I suppose those could be part numbers.

So I suppose I'll get "enlarge your diesel" spam next. "Add more cylinders!!!"

Diesel Spam

Yes, I've started getting those as well. I wonder if someone bought a mailing list that we both opted in to, say Penis Enlargement , and somehow that got mistranslated into Chinese so as to mean Diesel Parts?
