Hitherto unseen spam technique... but not very effective

[theoldwolf]

Receiving reams of "Thank you for signing up" or "Confirmation required to activate your membership" spams in my Gmail inbox.

One of them address me,

"Dear fARTFACE,
Thank you for signing up for a free trial of Constant Contact Email Marketing!"

Gee, even if I had requested a free trial, this would make me think twice about using their system.

If it's all the same, I think I shall refrain from adopting that particular nickname for you.

Are you sure? I'd hate to think he was offended! :-D
