Spam in the wrong language is probably the biggest waste ever. I speak English and Korean, and a little bit of Japanese but not enough to want to read through spam email in Japanese. But I’ve been getting an influx of them. One of them even says “Merry Christmas” on it, for God’s sake. I thought they operated with the same solar calendar, but apparantly not!
I wonder how my email address got exposed to all these Japanese guys. It could be from random websites that display my email as a …
