As the year draws to an end, we thought it high time to do another of our Top 10 favorite spam subject lines. The choice (unfortunately) is always aplenty but we think you’ll enjoy these unless you can do better of course!
In the vague category
10. ‘This will help you! Soon holidays!’ What could it be? The Art of learning family patience? Drugs? Earplugs?
9. ‘Need Vagira’ Need what?
8. ‘Be Aware of Cold’ This phishing attempt was astoundingly bad no creativity!
In the too long category
7. ‘Have a modish style with Patek Phillipe watches, find them here. Guccinecklace is what you need to be noticeable anywhere’ Need I say more
In the never been seen category
6. ‘The information you requested’ Ok this one is cheating slightly because the actual magic of this spam is in the body. Wait for it!
In the ‘love’ category
5. ‘Be the Pied Piper of Chicks’
4. ‘Challenge Mike Myers as the love guru’ News to me
In the ‘as spam goes, not so dumb’ category
3. ‘Mark Zuckerberg commented on your photo’ I am pretty sure I wasn’t the only one who actually noticed this one!
2. ‘LinkedIn Updates’ Tries to get you to log in. I almost got caught out with this one, one moment of inattention and anyone can be one of those people who click on spam
And finally, our number 1 spam subject line
‘You just received a Taliban Virus’ Yes, they actually went that far. For true appreciation check out the message in full below!
