E-mail from Russia...

OK, I love a good spam email. Particularly the ones from victims of political turmoil pleading with me to help them transfer huge sums of money. Truly, they make me chuckle. But today's spam from the mysterious "Elena" has me puzzled. The social scientist in me always wants to figure out the hook that would lure unsuspecting recipients to reply with their personal information. But "Elena" had no hook. Her email didn't make sense, and I don't know what she WANTS from me. Sigh.

Check this out...the punctuation and grammar are directly copied. Its still fascinating.

"Hi! My name is Elena , My job in Moscow , but now i'm workingin Saint-Petersburg. I'd like to travel between Saint-Petersburg andMoscow all the time, I work for a phone-provider company. I will giveyou more detail later. You can email me on my work email address to:elena27@mysunday.org I will send a photo and tell you more if you reply."

Huh? Oh, "Elena". Why am I drawn to this stuff?

And, no, I have no new pictures this morning to accompany this posting. I'm off to class this afternoon, however, so I'm sure that I will have a fresh assignment to work on. Maybe the assignment will be "odd food products" and I'll be golden with my Bingles!
