As I mentioned yesterday, I recently perused all the e-mails that Gmail had flagged as spam and to my dismay found a lot of legitimate e-mail, including mailing list e-mails and Movable Type e-mails notifying me of comments being caught up in the filter. However, I found something scarier than that. In fact, I found perhaps the scariest spam that I’ve ever encountered.
Did you know that spammers are claiming to be selling chemotherapeutic agents from India? Check it out:

Be very grateful that I spared you the multi-colored text and bad HTML. Red, green, brown, and pink all mixed together seemingly at random and sometimes even by the word. The pain.
Yep, that’s where I’d be buying my chemotherapeutics from, a spammer. Not just any spammer, but one advertising a service in India and who uses garish colors in the text of the spam. (Really, the colors do have to be seen to be believed.) I wonder how good the quality of their “product” is.
Never mind. I think I know.
