Spammers are getting desperate. I received the following email a few days ago, which somehow got through Gmail’s spam filter:
From: “germes”
To: “donncha” <.....>
Subject: RE: Hello

I presume they meant to say that I pay them to remove my email address from their mailing list rather than the other way around!
