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.
German Spam!
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:

It's a TASTE SENSATION OF ADVERTISING.

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.
