Mundane Gadget Spam of the Day

1. [TJ S]

   I was going to write something witty to mock that spam, but it’s already doing a very good job of that all by itself.

2. [therevengor]

   Roy King and Weed Lee are the same person? That explains so much!

3. [grimc]

   Toilet roll isn’t as tasty as California or Dragon roll, but it’s still pretty good.

4. [SamSam]

   Is it in code? What’s “(TOILET ROLL)”?

   Also, apparently the person addressed is both the customer and the seller, so it’s pretty confusing.

   Are you sure you aren’t involving yourself in some kind of arms deal or something?

5. [Eliot]

   The Order Request I got from Jim Walker today wanted to “order some (Log Ladder)”

6. [danilo]

   Could be worse.

   Could have been addressed to Mr. Boing.

7. [Rob Beschizza]

   Believe it or not, but I occasionally get emails addressed to Mr. Boing, or, more commonly, “Dear Boing.”

8. [RedShirt77]

   No Weed Lee, I am sofa Roy King. We Todd did.

9. [kostia]

   I got one of these asking for a quote to print flyers. Which is *almost* what I do. It had the right terms in it, “aqueous coating” and whatnot, but it was clearly spam. So weird. I feel better now I’ve seen this.

10. [Anonymous]

    @ Kostia – Yes, we ARE a printing firm, and have been getting these as well. I quote them absurd prices and tell them that we only accept pre-payments via Western Union and I get some rather colorful replies. Good times.

    I get video tape requests as my biz is video so these guys must put a little research into their scams.

    Since I’ve had less to do since Bush crashed the economy I’ve called their bluff a few times by playing along until I get the credit card numbers (they often ask to split it among a few)and shipping address which I googlemap (they’re invariably some apartment building).

    I then call the card company and kick back thinking at least a part of the day was rewarding.
