A (Spam) Resurrection
Hi, I’m back!
To celebrate my triumphant return, I’m subjecting you to an analysis of what lands in my spam folder. Enjoy!
Between April 1 and April 15, I received 367 spam items in my Google Mail account. They break down as follows:
| Meds | 8 | 11 | 17 | 18 | 12 | 13 | 12 | 17 |
| ED | 3 | 14 | 17 | 9 | 11 | 7 | 4 | 13 |
| “Enhancement” | 17 | 10 | 19 | 12 | 17 | 4 | 15 | 13 |
| Porn | 2 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 1 | 1 | |
| Fake goods | 6 | 1 | 4 | 1 | 3 | 3 | ||
| Watches | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 6 | 2 |
| Software | 1 | 1 | 2 | |||||
| Degrees | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | ||
| Gambling | 1 | 1 | 1 | |||||
| Phishing | 1 | 2 | 1 | |||||
| Mailing lists | 1 | 1 | 1 | |||||
| Other | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | ||||
| Totals | 38 | 50 | 50 | 50 | 50 | 29 | 50 | 50 |
So, in summary, the Internet thinks I’m a straight male (check), I’m middle-aged (nope), and I don’t have insurance (nada). Keep trying guys; you’ll get it right eventually.
