Hieroglyphics and mixed up words in spam

What is all this ridiculous stuff that makes no sense that comes in spam? Is it some kind of secret code that only the exceptional few know and understand? Perhaps there’s some global thing happening where groups of people around the world are planning things and the information is disseminated by the code in the spam? Who knows?

Spam is bad enough at any time but it used to make some sense – it was pretty much trying to promote something or lure you somewhere to suit the sender’s needs. But now I get so much stuff in my spam filters that just seems to have jumbled up words that make no sense, or a series of parts of sentences from stories or other people’s websites – like it all got thrown into a bag, shaken and then tipped out in a jumbled mess.

Perhaps I’m showing my ignorance here and there is a reason for it but it’s beyond me. Searches on Google indicate that the ‘random blather’ is designed to bypass the filters but it seems that the majority does still get caught. Thank goodness I have filters that halts it till I peruse through in case there’s a real email message hidden amongst the jumbled messages somewhere.

    I’m with you on this one! That stuff drives me nuts and I don’t get it. Do they spend time doing that? Does the computer recognize it as spam and jumble it for us?

    Just kidding! But seriously, where does it on come from? And do the senders know that it looks like that when it gets to us?

    How funny! I was googling for the same answer. I get that wierd stuff all the time with no reason for it, or so it seems. Would love to know what its purpose is.
