“Please do not delete this. Money obtained from spam will go to children in uganda.”
Uh huh. I’ll get right on that.

HAHAHAHA

*snort*
November 30th, 2007 at 8:32 pm
Hey, that’s pretty funny! I always like it when the spammers actually label their posts as Spam and try to say something creative.
November 30th, 2007 at 8:41 pm
Well. They’re right, aren’t they?
November 30th, 2007 at 8:46 pm
Classic.
November 30th, 2007 at 8:48 pm
Trying the Robin Hood approach. Good one, but… FAIL!
November 30th, 2007 at 8:56 pm
haha, yeah right !
November 30th, 2007 at 8:57 pm
Awesome. And it probably works on a lot of people too.
November 30th, 2007 at 9:12 pm
That bit of spam is easily one of the funniest that I’ve read.
November 30th, 2007 at 9:16 pm
Oh man that’s priceless.
November 30th, 2007 at 9:23 pm
That’s pretty awesome spam.
Ugandan kids would be better helped by cans of spam, though.
November 30th, 2007 at 9:30 pm
Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the children???
November 30th, 2007 at 9:34 pm
A joke for ending 2007.
November 30th, 2007 at 9:53 pm
Why didn’t I think of that?
November 30th, 2007 at 10:14 pm
Maybe it was sent by a group of children in Uganda?
November 30th, 2007 at 11:29 pm
What were they pimping? Cheap drugs or porn?
November 30th, 2007 at 11:57 pm
Right, and I have some nice swamp land in Arizona up for sale too.
December 1st, 2007 at 12:32 am
Hahaha. That just made my day
December 1st, 2007 at 1:52 am
That’s great. Though the scary part might be if people actually believe them… let’s hope not, heh.
December 1st, 2007 at 2:28 am
That’s fun. I have seen a lot of them last year. Others posted “Do not delete I need money”, sound pretty poor. Oh, I am also poor.
Other trend look like normal comment with don’t understand something on post but commenter url is something els.
December 1st, 2007 at 2:53 am
Haha!
December 1st, 2007 at 3:36 am
Heheh..
At least you read spam..
December 1st, 2007 at 3:36 am
My spammers are never that amusing. Nothing but hundreds of links… rats..
December 1st, 2007 at 3:49 am
Wow. That’s pretty freaking awesome.
December 1st, 2007 at 4:18 am
ROTFL
That’s a very good excuse.. hahahhaa
December 1st, 2007 at 5:23 am
hehehe… worst part is that someone, somewhere will fall for that…
December 1st, 2007 at 5:47 am
I like beans
December 1st, 2007 at 6:19 am
Yup! And since they are such upright individuals I am willing to release all my financial information to them via email. No, wait Mr. Spammer. The check is in the mail.
Austin (recent victim of spam blogs Argh!)

Buyz monkes.
Please do not delete this. Money obtained from spam will go to children in uganda.
(Sorry couldnt rezist)
December 1st, 2007 at 8:06 am
Was this one of those “Get super-size for your willy on New Year holiday!” spam?
December 1st, 2007 at 9:11 am
new strategy, i believe someone will follow his order..
December 1st, 2007 at 9:38 am
Bwahahaha, OMG. O_o
December 1st, 2007 at 10:00 am
Ha, nice. It’s a step above “Help me get out of debt” and a step below “Dearest friend, I have cancer and would like to give all of my money to you.”
What will they come up with next – and most importantly, when will these every work?
December 1st, 2007 at 11:40 am
If I wasn’t feeling so sardonic about this, I’d splork my screen.
I’ll send them a donation from the millions I’m getting from the general in Nigeria — or is that the fellow who says he’ll share his take from the Irish Sweepstakes with me?
December 1st, 2007 at 1:51 pm
it’s the american way no? say you’re doing it for the children or the women or the downtrodden in some distant land who’ve not yet discovered the great ideals of demockery. strike that. make it democracy. right? riiight!
December 1st, 2007 at 4:57 pm
Genius!
December 1st, 2007 at 5:14 pm
They’ve resorted to asking people to not remove spam!? Wow! Thats friggin awesome! Next thing you know they’ll be offering us lotza monies to not remove spam. hehehehhehee.
December 1st, 2007 at 5:20 pm
Fun stuff.
I’ve been getting great subject lines lately, like these: “Clown Sunglasses Chocolates Elephant Ears Kaleidoscope Monster,” “Fan Alphabet Button Sunglasses Egg Insect Banana,” and the best yet: “Bowl Baby Elephant Vulture Sex.”

December 1st, 2007 at 11:48 pm

December 2nd, 2007 at 1:31 am
hahah
I <3 spammers.
December 2nd, 2007 at 3:40 am
Ha! I love it. I wrote something about all the PSAM Akismet has been catching for me too. Check it out here:
http://thisisjoshua.com/?p=21
And NO, this message was not SPAM!
December 2nd, 2007 at 8:21 am
I honestly cannot imagine any way spam benefits the people making it… does it actually bring in money? I mean wtf.
December 2nd, 2007 at 9:23 am
Nice! Reminds me of the one I used to regularly get and seems to have disappeared recently:
“I’m an evil person and have to spam”
At least they were being partly honest on that one…
December 2nd, 2007 at 10:50 am
Very funny !!
December 2nd, 2007 at 6:11 pm
Hey, spammers: get a check in the mail, and I’ll stop running SK2 with the Akismet plugin. You obviously know where to send it.
December 2nd, 2007 at 6:16 pm
Well at least part of the message was truthful.. that it was a spam message.
December 2nd, 2007 at 6:49 pm
support the children
December 3rd, 2007 at 1:52 am
A politically aware spammer. New one to me lol
December 3rd, 2007 at 4:00 am
HAHAHA!
December 3rd, 2007 at 12:24 pm
I had one very polite spammer apologize for leaving it, as she liked my site, but was required to do it for her job.
December 3rd, 2007 at 12:41 pm
yeah, money got with viagra spam, hehehe.
December 3rd, 2007 at 11:10 pm
LOL, now thats a pretty lame excuse .. but nice
Made em laugh for sure =)
December 4th, 2007 at 2:43 am

December 4th, 2007 at 4:26 am

December 4th, 2007 at 11:03 am
Save the spam, save the children.
December 5th, 2007 at 3:57 am
Nice try
December 5th, 2007 at 7:20 am
How should we interpret this? The spambots are actually children from Uganda? Then it all makes sense, doesn’t it? O_o
December 5th, 2007 at 6:49 pm
Wow, more ways to entertain us. Sweet.
December 5th, 2007 at 8:56 pm
LOOOOOOOL!!!
December 5th, 2007 at 10:30 pm
“Please do not save this. Money saved from deleting spam will go to my children in the USA.”
December 6th, 2007 at 10:34 pm
Best I’ve had is “Sorry, I’m poor
”
Well I am too, get a job.
December 7th, 2007 at 6:31 pm
Oh man! Thanks for publishing that, this is awesome! I wish spammers on my site were this creative
December 7th, 2007 at 8:40 pm
haha… ok ok
I wont delete you..

December 8th, 2007 at 1:05 pm
They can be creative, like the 419 spam posing as representatives from the bank of Nigeria to return money to scammed victims
December 8th, 2007 at 9:14 pm
…i hate spam!
December 9th, 2007 at 6:06 pm
Too smart

December 11th, 2007 at 5:23 am
Oh yeah, they will try everything huh?
December 11th, 2007 at 9:30 am
You mean its not true???
December 14th, 2007 at 8:52 am
Spammers are now trying to engage bloggers in conversation and it seems to be working, at least as far as getting past Akismet’s beady eye:

Great spam
June 17th, 2008 at 11:50 pm
I think I saw that same piece of spam come across my blog too! But in my Akismet filter, of course.
