Does anyone else get bizarre spam emails consisting of a single image with a bunch of chinese writing, then a long gap and around 10 paragraphs of text randomly excerpted from old books? It consistently gets past my spam filter and I still have no idea what it’s even trying to sell me.

Possibly the weirdest spam I’ve ever received

Not quite sure what to make of this latest spam:

I have yet to see a “weird old trick” spam variant stranger than this:

Received some spam telling me my website needs a responsive layout. I wonder if @beep gets these emails.

There’s something very strange about seeing spam comments on a piece of legislation: publicmarkup.org/bill/superpac-act/2/201

Just got an all-new type of email spam from @twitter — notifications that a tweet I was mentioned in was favourited :/ /cc Tantek Çelik

“People in the garage door industry have been busy designing and manufacturing doors that are handsome as well as functional.”

A TOAST, I SAY, TO THE GALLANT FOLKS OF THE GARAGE DOOR INDUSTRY

The spam on the #microformats wiki just gets weirder and weirder. This one is masterfully surreal in all its mundane glory:

“How about a garage door you can see through? Well almost”
“The neat thing is that these are overhead sectional garage doors just like any other.”
“Can you acquire a bucket of paint?”
“you'll amaze yourself”
“Now that you understand how financially important your garage door really is to you, it is time to get to work.”

Warning: Just received Paypal-imitating phishing emails that look marginally more credible than usual. Please warn vulnerable relatives.

Is there anywhere for us to report #spam users to #diaspora admins? Will pod runners do anything about them? I know we can block, but is there a way to suspend them within D*'s mentality? #feature
