Second greatest e-mail scam of all time?

I just got this in my inbox:

code:

Yeah. This totally isn't a scam.

And another that I missed.

my ex girlfriend got an email from liquidgeneration.com yesterday that was disguised as as email from the RIAA claiming that she is being prosecuted for $1,200 per song that she has illegally downloaded.

I think melon has gotten into spamming. I've been noticing odd things at the bottom of debt consolidation emails.

Email 1: Indeed, swamp over mourn bride over.And a change of heart about the dark side of her toothpick.When beyond prime minister is alleged, microscope behind write a love letter to steam engine over.When grizzly bear defined by tea party leaves, espadrille over scythe flies into a rage.CEO over trembles, or behind pocket find lice on chestnut related to philosopher.Furthermore, razor blade from hides, and diskette inside swamp give a pink slip to of light bulb. Most cream puffs believe that from guardian angel assimilate beyond wedding dress.

Email 2: girls remain dirt-encrusted.Any grizzly bear can secretly admire near clock, but it takes a real waif to corporation behind.Now and then, defined by industrial complex sell to over power drill. Unlike so many girls who have made their chic somnambulist to us.

Email 3 (subject: re: souffle) food stamp around widow throw at debutante from, or defined by bottle of beer prefer razor blade living with.When living with impresario feels nagging remorse, beyond short order cook hibernates.Indeed, bubble bath inside senator a big fan of over turn signal. A few piroshki, and beyond bonbon) to arrive at a state of coward

Those are called hash busters. They are intended to get around baysian filters. First started popping up a few months ago as far as I can tell and now they're the new Big Thing in SPAM.

I haven't gotten a Nigerian letter in almost a year. It's kinda refreshing to get one in your inbox because it isn't all about GENERIC V.I.A.G.R.....A or FIXED LOW MORTGAGE RATES.

You would think that we could get some effective legislation thrown up, but you would be wrong.

$$$ talks.
