I won the email freelotto lottery. Or so, I have been told...
...with about fifty emails.
Yes, it is a phishing campaign.
But it does remind me of some important internet business advice:
If you are going to use an automated email program, make sure that it does not send multiple emails to the same email address. And if you have multiple email mailing lists, figure out how to sync the lists.
Why?
Because if someone recieves the exact same email from a single or multiple senders, they are more likely to treat it as spam, even if their spam filters do not catch it.
And there you go, my winning prize in the email freelotto lottery, a crappy bit of internet business advice. Ain't you glad that I shared the winnings with you?

Business advice from Winning the email lottery

Occasionally
Occasionally, I wonder about some of the emails I get. The lastest one was entitled "Sometimes."
The message said, "My contempt responds in the wolf."
There was nothing else in the email. No picture. No advertisment. And no clue why it was sent to me.
I wonder what the sender meant to accomplish. Was it merely to make me wonder?
