01/31 2005 – It’s amazing what you can find in your referral logs when it comes to referral spammers, but today I was actually spammed by a site selling the tool for doing referral spamming. *effy.net – The Mass Referrer Marketer. [Ducking the nofollow link attribute]They have a page full of info of how referral […]

Polo. Small but tough. Useless for jihad bombings.
01/25 2005 – Even though Volkswagen and their advertising firm DDB London denies having anything to do with this viral commercial for VW Polo, bearing the tagline Polo. Small but tough., I still think that it’s hilarious. And I even believe that it works as a commercial. See it here (updated link). Added 2/2 2005: […]
Mr. Wang Qin, iScammer from Hong Kong
I think this is the first time I receive a 419 type of scam mail from Hong Kong. It is of the no next of kin type. A large sum of money has been left with no heirs, and the scammer wants to ”save” the money from supposedly corrupt and greedy government officials. The recepient […]
Lylian Donald, McGavin & ASSOCIATES International Lottery Program
I’m getting immensly rich! What should I do with all this money I keep winning? I have already won a million Euro at least ten times this year, and today I received the below notice that I have won two more millions. Now wait… Why didn’t they tell me until now? The draw was in […]
Threats from iScammer Kwezi Sibeko
There is a first time for everything, and this is actually the first time an iScammer has gotten back to me after I publish their emails. Well, Kwezi Sibeko certainly did. He even made sure to put my address in his mail, thus making the double threat of taking legal action (which he will get […]
Mrs Rosa Jonas from Angola
This is actually the first time I see a Danish Tiscali address used for sending iScams. But that’s not the only strange detail in this offer from the so-called Mrs Rosa Jonas. I can’t help but wonder why she inherited the first name of late UNITA leader Jonas Savimbi instead of his surname Savimbi… And […]
Loteria EuroBote Winners International programs
If you even for a second or so had your hopes up for ghe grand prize of 1 million Euros in the so-called Loteria EuroBote, I’m sorry to say, I won too. And isn’t it strange? I think this is the tenth lottery I won this year… Techniqually speaking it was Drinkalizer.com that won, since […]
Kwezi Sibeko, Projects & Planning, Department of Minerals & Energy, Pretoria
This scam actually looks totally new. I’ve searched all the ordinary sources, both for the name Kwezi Sibeko, the Projects & Planning departement, as well as The Department of Minerals & Energy, but can see no other instance of this fraudulent email. Still I’m positive that it is a scam. — Update: 1/16 2005:Kwezi Sibeko […]
Européer äter inte MP3-spelare
I Apples marknadsföring för iPod Shuffle har man valt att jämföra storleken med ett tuggummipaket. Klyftigt. Men på apples amerikanska sida om Apples nya lilla MP3-spelare har någon paranoid reklamjurist fått in varningstexten ”Do not eat iPod Shuffle” (se nedan). Nu visar det sig att Apple verkar behandla sina europeiska kunder med en smula mer […]
Euro Millions Lottery International
It’s clear that iScammers steal from eachother, implementing ideas that seem to work, just as scammers outside the internet always have done. However, on the web this isn’t such a great idea. After winning five different million Euro lotteries in just a week, people might start to read these winning notifications a bit more carefully. […]
