Spammers keep getting sharper at disguising (from anti-spam software at least) the fact they're sending spam - realistic but nonsense names, HTML email but with randomly constructed text to look like a real email.

Just got a spam in, aparrently from 'Drizzliest E. Midpoints'. :) Best one I've seen.

Unless, of course, you know different...

95% of this crap originates in the States and the States won't do much about it because turning the internet into 95% spam, crap, and porn serves their interests perfectly well. The megacorps live in fear of the people of the world really starting to use it as a medium for the free exchange of meaningful work and knowledge...

Apparently I won $1.5m in something called the 'Honeywell Trembling Lottery' the other day, and to claim my prize, I'm supposed to contact a 'Mr Bacon Basma'.
