Manchester United fans in need of medication?
As ever the spam queues this afternoon are full of emails containing links to ‘male enhancement’ websites.
One new trick for today is the use of Manchester United in the url name. Perhaps that’s not surprising considering Manchester United’s nail-biting win by penalty shootout over Chelsea at the UEFA Champions league last night in Moscow.
Just two vowels have been removed from the club’s name (mnchsterunited dot com), making it almost conceivable (grin) that tired, hungover Man Utd fans could find themselves stumbling onto the wrong website today.
Emails containing a link to a sub-page on the site came in with all the usual subject lines - surely the spammers missed a trick there by not including some cleverly worded UEFA Champions league or United references? (I could, but I’m not going to).
Some of the more eyebrow-raising subject lines used in this spam campaign today include:
- Change your small trout into a great white shark
- She will remove her loin-cloth
- Get a greater kangaroo pounder
