Links of the Week (36/2008)

Not that many this time…

I left out links about Google Chrome (and warnings of it) intentionally, that might’ve busted the database field…

Teassting

“Testing as”? “Teas sting”? But what is stinging tea? Or does Sting want some tea? “The ass thing” (*cough*) by someone who can’t pronounce a th? “Teasing St(reet)”? Will we ever know what this word from this dating scam mail is supposed to mean?

Hello,blushrose
My name is peace.i saw your profile today at (www.clubafrika.com) and found you worthy to be mine as some one whom i can lay on his arms

Wait a sec, whose arms? Leave your pimp out of this, will you?!?

as long as love is concern, caring and teassting you all the nightlong, If you are interested in knowing more about me and for me to send you some pictures of mine, contact this:E-mail address.(peace4me_khalifa@yahoo.com) to hear from you,

Why don’t: you.(scammers) right away, erm, why don’t you scammers send the photos right away? That’d be an even better lure for all the lovesick guys stupid enough to reply to such mails.

Loving you forever
peacerosetongue(whatever)

(The smilies are from Yahoo, and of course I checked that in the mail source before I let my mail program load them. According to the header, the mail has indeed been written with Yahoo Web Mail.)

The same text, also with other names – Queen (of all things…), loveth, morrin, jane, … – and other dating sites, can be found in numerous comments all over the net, as well as that email address, by the way.

Now if you think this is a travel cost or money laundering scam with nice love letters, you’re disappointed, for already in the second mail “she” hints at this being just another advance fee fraud promising millions of dollars – but more on that in a few days…

48 Spaces

asian memory Warning: It will be a little techical here ;) – but maybe just ignore the details, you still can get what’s odd here, so in case of doubt just read the bold print…:

From the SMBios/DMI info for memory modules that are supposed to be set by the BIOS, ideally taking the info from the modules’ SPD EEPROMs:

Manufacturer: 48spaces
Part no.: 312345678901234567890123456789012345
Serial no.: 31234567

And the same for all four slot info items. How did that go, did someone say to his colleague programmer: “Nobody cares about these fields anyway, just write 48 spaces into them”?
aargh, another one of these bugs! ;)

Popular soft, lowest quality

Another badly translated German spam mail – do they really hope to sell something this way??

I tried to reproduce the meaning in English here:

Popular soft for PC and Mac

…with “soft” translated like “mellow, smooth,…” and not as short form for “software”…

All Europe uses our software
ms of lowest quality at highest level.
— All programs for PC and Mac
— You can choose, the programs in the own language http://[removed].com

Lowest quality at the highest level, who wouldn’t like that? The sender was “Deutsche software.com|” (incl. vertical bar), by the way.

Or in this variant (also to be seen at “Unser täglich Spam”, German):

Hi
Sell software
Best take and the best service.
— All programs from Microsoft and Apple
— Our programs translated and adapted to the users speak French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Swedish, English.
Will the talk with you soon. http://[removed].com

Sender: “Best deutsche soft.com|”. No, will the talk with you never.

The Tonnendreher (German) got another version…
