A particularly funny spam
Come join my network at hi5! I now have over 5 friends in my network! You can meet all of them, plus more than 7 million other Hi5 members! Once you join, you will immediately be connected to all the people in my circle of friends. Hi5 is an online service that lets you meet new people, view photos, browse profiles, and chat with your friends. I'll see you inside, Brad Simpon already has more than 7 million members! Gender/Age: Male/24 Location: Augusta This invitation was sent to rehoward@syr.edu on behalf of Brad Simpon (simpsonbr@hotmail.com). If you do not wish to receive invitations from hi5 members, click on the link below: http://www.hi5.com/friend/displayBlockInvite.do?inviteId=277731802
Okay, let's see. Friend Brad, the 24-year-old from Augusta whose surname is spelled two different ways, offers me three choices: I can join his network of 5 friends; I can continue to be spammed by "him"; or I can click on this URL. Uh, no, Brad, there's a fourth choice: I can put you through my junk mail filter. Sayonara.
