Cross-channel marketing: Spam or Personal Ad?
I have re-entered the world of online dating, which I’ll tell you about this week. Oh, yes, plenty to say there, but I’m going to keep you waiting — mostly because it’s almost 8:00 and I haven’t eaten dinner yet.
In the meantime, I almost thought this email was some insanely bad proclamation of love from an online dating site… until I got to the part about “my parents died [like in a Disney film] and I have a bazillion dollars and I think you’d be the perfect person to receive it — because I like you. Even though I don’t know you.”
My dear, I am miss Angela from Asmara, Eritrea, single and 21 years old. After accessing your details in the internet site i copied out only your email address. Immediately after going through your information i made up my mind to contact you for long term relationship, because you are my choice of trust and i see nothing wrong with the choice that i have made in you…
I see nothing wrong with your choice either, Miss Angela, thank you.
Who said life here in the ‘burbs was quiet? And an email from a young woman of international mystery? My rank is picking up in the world. Maybe I should have picked Angelina for that one interview question!
You get the most interesting spam! Maybe I need to take my spam blocker off so I can have a little more excitement and mystery in my life.
Madame: My life is pretty sedate, let me assure you. But hey, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. (I might have to just completely block this stuff rather than have it go to its own folder. Then again…)
Hey Susan!
Loved the interview answers! I’m also looking forward to the online dating blogs…
Small world, Miss Angela accessed my details and contacted me, too! Spammers suck, I think we can all agree to that.
