What’s ‘spam’ in Arabic?

they found you by randomness…you just got lucky…
w00t!spam! when Aadil gets "spam" it looks more like "fun" to me!:lol:speaking of random:
Spam transcend the barrier of language.PS: The most unique type of Spam that filled my mailbox:It went "will increase drive motor performance by 30%".Dont ask…..:zip:
I've never seen that before, but the writing looks much nicer than ordinary spam :p.
Now if Amir would comment I hope he can confirm that the Arabic is the exact same message as the English. :p.And I've corrected the alignment so that it now shows correctly. :up:.
I got this today:I seem to get unique varieties. 🙂
I would reply back to them immediately!!!!!:lol:
Save such an (most likely) .eml mail and read it with a text-processor. Look at the header of such a mail: where it comes from, those strange numbers like 190.10.0.24 or so. Then check http://whatismyipaddress.com/ to see what 'jumps' such a mail has made. You'll end up (most likely) with a proxy-server, however I recently traced a sender who tried to blackmail a client of mine for alledgedly 'possessing pornography' up to his frontdoor, where he could be arrested. From the Balkan area. Never take SPAM too lightly. It often is caused by Trojans, Backdoors and other gimmicks accompanying and quasi-allowed by the fine Microsoft software. Clean your OS asap. I solved the spam crisis slightly different by using 5 email providers: Gmail, Yahoo 2x, Gawab and Fastmail. The latter gets all returns upon websites requiring your email address before downloading stuff. Once a week I visit Fastmail and press 'Do' preset to wipe and eliminate unseen all content, 99.9% spam! This site has another 'name' for me as well. It made life a great deal easier. A problem may also be that your name is openly in your email-account or provided per email to a friend. Then even Google can make your emails visible!! Be very careful with that pitfall, see Google: 'email Aadil,Qlue' just innocent things.:insane: :nervous: :sherlock:
My spam is relatively modest. Also, since I use a mobile, the Mickeysoft security glitches don't apply. Gmail is one of the best and receives much less spam than, for example, Yahoo does. If things ever get too annoying, I'll just reset everything and start again. No one seems to use email in South Africa for some reason, everything important is via snailmail. I think it's a legal issue to some extent. :confused:
I agree. Yahoo is my lowest level of spam filter, just above this Fastmail. You must be a known 'friend' to be able to use my Gmail account. Who is not on my list, can't get in… Wonderful. I think many are afraid of prying eyes. Emails are 'read' and filtered, no doubt. IN EU we have Echelon doing it. So when you write the word ter…st then you do it this way: t_er_..st and then one gets confused, the mail passes in a split second. Otherwise you may wait a day or so, if arriving at all! That is a plain truth. Providers are 'anxious' because they are responsible, they think.But Gmail works fine – its 'connections' are wellknown. 😀
It depends with Gmail, Aadil. If you use HTML you might run out of luck unless you put one line underneath with your (phoney?) email address where one can "cancel the surbscription" – old trick. Or: "AVG found no virus inside". Try normal txt and see.
Unfortunately, Gmail is blacklisted by some email providers. So some of my emails don't get through. But that's just as it is. One day we'll all in back to manuall encrypting as a cursory measure

You gotta love the way they start a business transaction with the informal "Hello dear".
It's kinda creepy actually. Especially since the type of people that in round calling strangers 'dear' are often the kind you meat under a street lamp at two in the morning. :insane:
O.K Amir here 😛 yes it`s right :up: the Arabic is the exact same message as the English. :up::sst: except for the : "go to hell" in the end 😆 nah just kidding 😛 😆 😆
Thanks for the confirmation, :up:.They probably hoped that the arabic would look more sincere. :whistle:
yeah bastards…didnt know Amir was here to bust them up 😉 😆
