Personalized Spam by Amoeba Man, HFXØ Sponty
June 14th, 2008 7:02 PM*** The actual contents of the emails can be read by clicking the pictures at the bottom of the proof. ***
This task was a bit sneaky on my part. Initially I thought I might try to pull one over Bli33ard, but I got permanently unable'd to send email to the email address. I needed a new target.
Amoeba Man. Genius.
So I sent him the email with low hopes in getting any response, as my fine-feathered friend, Mr. Man, is quite internet savvy, and I expected him to simply "Report as Spam" and be done with it.
He had no such luck.
Here's the email which I sent to him. It's not exactly spam, but I guess it counts (advertising?). Keep in mind, it's all a load of complete bulls**t.
The plan was in action, but would dear old Amoeba Man take the bait?
A lil' bit.
He told me, a few hours after sending the email, that he had received the email:
"I just got an e-mail from some bastard named Mark Baker.
Telling me I won tickets to the Chemical Brothers concert.
I didn't enter any random draw." (Skype textual conversation)
I was sure the jig was up, but I was quick on my toes.
Blame Bli33ard.
I somehow managed to convince Amoeba Man that it was all Bli33ard's doing, and AM set into motion an email to the fake email account. AM, blissfully thinking he was sending an email to Bli33ard (while also CCing my main email address), typed madly and nothing short of a fantastic concoction was the result:
The email left me LOL'ing, especially that I had been able to pull this off.
As well, the clever Amoeba Man sent an email to his sure suspect, Bli33ard, as shown below.
And that wraps it. Hopefully it was spammy enough for you all, and I'm sure you enjoyed AM's response as much as I did.
Thanks goes to Amoeba Man, especially for his witty, hilarious response. I hope you don't mind me leading you completely astray in addition to including the contents of your emails. If you do mind, please feel free to pwn me.

LOL! I opened my inbox this morning and I thought that Amoeba Man was doing a crappy job of this task.
Then I replied:
"You could have chosen Rage Against the Machine or summat."
Sponty Rick Roll'd me.
Oh man, I'm such a moron!
Genius, Sponty, that's just genius! Epic win.
Sorry to Bli33ard for the false accusations.
I'm actually laughing my ass off now. Sponty, you are the man. I kept checking Bli33ard's account and wondering "When's he going to post his praxis?" Silly me.
And no, I don't mind being pwned. I deserve it at this point.
Enjoy the 15 points, ya nerd.
Months after the fact and I still laugh every time I think of this.
I will never stop loving this praxis.
+5. I like that you were able to complete the task according to instructions even though he knew the message was for Personalized Spam because you got him to think it was someone else what sent it.
