Personalized Spam by Alex Matchke

July 30th, 2008 10:20 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Create a dummy email account that has an address name that cannot be recognized as you. Use this account to create and send an original and believable Spam message to another player or someone else that you know. Make the message of personal interest to the recipient without revealing your identity. Your goal is to get a reply from the recipient without them realizing that you are the sender of the message. Continue sending messages until you achieve your goal.

Here's my take on personalized spam. My victim- my good friend Alek, who has been caught in a few compromising photos that have now surfaced on the internet, or so says my dummy email account; Tim Collins.

Here, Tim Collins is born, thanks to yahoo.

Being that my spam victim was also a friend of mine here on sf0, i did not even sign up for this task until my proof was ready, as not to compromise the task, or arrise any suspicion from him, though i have been planning this task for over a week. After asking him his e-mail adress, through the explanation that i had something to forward him, i obtained the adress. i then waited for several days as to not link the obtaining of his email with this spam message. Then I simply typed up the message, sent it, and waited.

Now, to tell Alek of these terrible internet deeds.(origional email composition photo was lost, so this is sent mail screenshot)

It took but a day for him to find this email from t.collins2003, but how I first found out was through a message on sf0..

My heart filled with joy as I eagerly awaited my praxis. Then, I checked t.collins2003's email, and voila!

Although his response may seem shaky, i think the sf0 message clearly shows that he did not know that i in fact was t.collins2003.

mission accomplished

is there spam out there that follows a similar pattern (i.e. we found some suspicious photos of you, email me back if you're interested)?
