For the past several months I've been getting junk mail in arabic. Like a dozen or more a day. I'm pretty sure I know how this came about. About 12
|
-15 years ago the company I worked for had an IT dept in India. I was often in communication with them - by phone and business e-mail. One guy - let's call him Hasan because that's his name - was very friendly and wanted to know more about the US so I gave him my personal e-mail. We corresponded for a while then he started pushing me to find him a job. He seemed to think that because I worked for a big American company I must be more important than I was. I eventually stopped responding.
Not too long before I started getting the Arabic mail I saw the name Hasan in several English-language subject lines in my junk folder. I didn't open any of them. I'm guessing he got hacked and my e-mail was snagged because soon after the Arabic mail started.
I know better than to open any but I'm curious what the subject lines say and who they're from. Is a Saudi prince in need of a financial contact in the US? Am I being offered cheap Iraqi Viagra? Or an effective Tunisian penis enlarger? Or a good time with a nice girl from Marrakech? I don't know!
