Okay, what is it about this latest round of spam attacks? The ones with all the Chinese characters?
Gmail is known for doing a pretty good job at isolating spam before it rests in your inbox, but I’m getting this stuff by the droves everyday. (Note to Gmail: I don’t speak Chinese, so I’m fine if you just want to bypass the spam folder and have those messages go straight to the trash.)
What’s more confusing is that I take precautions by not posting my email address everywhere I turn.
To this day I still don’t see the value in getting into such a business. Clearly, this must be a profitable one to get into, but even so, how does one sleep at night knowing they’re annoying the heck out of everyone?
UPDATE: a friend of mine, Tammara, reminded me of another very annoying form of spam called comment spam, the kind bloggers have to trudge through just about as often as you might get email spam. I’m going to post a review of a couple of my favorite plugins that can help make mincemeat out of this kind of spam.

I’ve been getting chinese emails for ages, the trashfolder gets a fair amount of usage on all my accounts, there really doesn’t seem to be a rhyme or reason to it.
