Spam is getting smarter. But what it delivers is still ridiculous.
Recently my spam has included titles that actually get my attention and convince me to open them.
Hence, an e-mail this morning from the name of a lawyer I deal with and the title, "What are your dates in Sept/Oct for a motion?". I opened the e-mail -- I'd be irresponsible not to open it! But it was spam.
I am baffled as to what type of evil genius could develop a program that would send out such a convincing e-mail automatically.
But then that evil genius e-mail had the following content:
Yes, you can become a Doc and get all the benefits alongside it!
Our Diiploma/Certiificates are recognised worldwide.
No need for exams, or testing, classrooms, tests, even interviewing.
We turn no one down
We guarantee confidentiality.
CALL US 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK
Presumably very few lawyers, as targets of the spam, would fall for the degree mill scam; the spam is a pointless waste. Oh well, human history is full of brilliant work done for fools.

I work in the IT field and recently received a training catalogue from a company who offers IT training. One course caught my attention, the title?: Ethical Hacking.
I have half a mind to sign up just to see what they teach you. Isn't Ethical Hacking an oxymoron?
