Hi All,
This spam came as a real surprise to me. Somehow these guys have
figured out that I am of South Asian descent and assumed that I like
cricket and thus my absolute need for "cricket score software."
AFAIK, I have not signed up to any "indian" or "pakistani" or south
asian websites, they must have dredged e-mail addresses and then matched
them with ethnic names.
Anyone else come across this fine grained spamming?
best,
Karim
