im sure we all get our fair share of spam on mog. they are easy to ignore at least. but im curious to who is doing it. is it one particular group of losers, or is it standard protocol for all foreign scam artists to write private messages in the same format? theyre always written the same, they have the same vibe to them. what do they want? what are they trying to achieve? lets dissect shall we?

SUBJECT: Hello..... dear good day,
Hello dear good day,
Its really a pleaseure to come along your profile on www.mog.com
I am Nelly by name good looking young girl and in saerch of an opposite partner.This is why i have decided to contact you on this site so that we can establish a good relationship and also get to know each other.
Your age,race and religion is never a problem to me,all that matters is true love.
Kindly contact me on my e mail (nellydebor@yahoo.com) so that i can tell you more about my self and also with my picture.
Hope to hear from you soonest.
Nelly. (nellydebor@yahoo.com)
where do we start? the gramatical errors? the spelling? the run on sentences? how about we just lay down some general rules.
- the subject of the message should be quick and easy to read. plus something not too suspicious, like something someone might actually say. such as, 'sup' or 'your last post' etc.
- you dont have to put in whole links to websites, www's are unnecessary, and when im receiving the message in the website you are mentioning, go ahead and leave out the .com.
- introduce yourself but dont jump right into the details. telling me that you are good looking before anything else just makes you sound arrogant and full of yourself.
- saying that my personal traits such as race and religion are not a problem is completely inappropriate. first of all because i dont remember bringing it up and second, because it should never be a problem to anyone. unless you thought i was self conscious about my age and asianess.
- the part about 'all that matters is true love' is good. keep that in. honestly when i read that i thought to myself, "thank god, because thats all i have to give."
- leave the personal email address at the bottom of the page, and dont post it more than once. it makes you seem desperate.
- insert emoticons. we all know robots dont understand them, they just see colons and parenthesis. but it will make you seem more human. especially the 'wink' which in the right context can dig straight to the mans heart.
alright, now lets rewrite this garbage!
SUBJECT: hey!
i stumbled across your page while googling some of my favorite bands that youve posted about. after reading your mog i realized that we have so much in common! i really hope we can talk later and be friends! ;) i have to go though, i have a photo shoot in an hour (im a model no big deal tee hee). talks to yas later! :P

Hey I wrote that one while I was under alcohol influence, no need for you to be so judgmental! ;)
Obviously, you don't have enough to keep you busy . . . . Here I thought Nelly was just targeting only me. Clearly, she gets around!
I personally loved the 'nelly by name' bit.
Nelly by name, good-looking young spambot by nature?
you forgot to mention how hot and wet you are.......
my favorite was this one who requested a "long lasting relationship" with me.
Sorry, ardy. That was me. Unfortunately I'm now with a Princess who is exile with her family in the Sudan, I'm going there next week to bring her some pocket cash until my bank transfer goes through. The poor thing. But if this doesn't work out I'll drop you another Mog mail.
;)
I like the A- version ... alot!! :)
umm wait i just sent her all my money
MY WOMAN*BOT
can we all please start an anti-spam movement? lets find these bastards and spam their faces off. were going to need a program that can automatically send these messages..... i vote we name it 'spamboten anna' ...remixed by basshunter.
Hey don't knock it. Writing these emails pays me minimum wage.
k from what i gather, half of the people on mog are directly funding the other half whom are spamming them...
On man I love The Onion...This story was one of my favorites: http://www.theonion.com/content/node/46226
A few years ago I printed it up and read it to my small group I was leading and they were pissed!
Good times.
Hey and you forgot to mention where we can find Nelly's webcam!
