View Full Version : German Spam!
I just got my first piece of unsolicited bulk email written in German. I'm not sure what this means, but either way, I'm happy. Now, I have a dating service I can visit to meet German women! Okay, I'm not bothering to follow through with it, but I did indeed get a Spam in German. This is the first non English spam I've ever gotten. Maybe new US Spam laws in effect.

I've gotten several spam mails in Russian before. Though I now have an effective junk mail filter in place, so I don't see most of the spam that comes into my mailbox these days.

I get spam in Japanese. Of course, my ISP is Japanese... and the only spam I get in that box comes from my ISP.

I've gotten spam in only one non-English language: Gibberish. :laughing:

I just tried, but the board doesn't seem to like Japanese characters, so I edited it out rather than have an entire post full of boxes and question marks.
