Just when you think you’ve seen them all well… guess again. Some guys who are responsible for a good share of your inbox (spam) have thought of a new way to trick the the algorithms. Since image spam or pdf spam is thought to be not so effective well why not ASCII spam the victim’s inbox.

ASCII spam ?! well yes if you remember the good old days when ascii art was cool and all… those days are back and their going to haunt our inbox for as long as the algo’s will let them.

I got one today and it looks quite good here’s a snap:

This shows us that people who do spam are getting more and more ingenious day by day and will stop at nothing to get you buying their crap (drugs, fake accessories, porn etc). We’ll just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings :)
