Spam today, comedy tomorrow
For a while, I thought I was getting a lot of spam from some sort of misspelled Chinese fashion accessory business. But I've recently realized that "Ming Jewls" is not actually a vendor of any product - rather, it is my spam-receiving alter-ego. Through fault of either database corruption or perhaps intentional, though really strange, malice on someone else's part, one of my many email addresses has been matched up with this unusual moniker. Now, I don't actually read spam emails. I only know this because I get an inordinate number that address my alter ego by name in their subject line. Here are some recent "gems":
Rather odd, don't you think? At least they are offering a variety of services, it's good to have some range.
- Ming Jewls, find singles in your area looking for some fun
- Ming Jewls, Get the funds you need quickly
- Ming Jewls, Find the lowest prices on 05 and 06 cars
- Ming Jewls, $250 Abercrombie Gift Card

I too have been getting emai under the same name and thought the same as you, database corruption, or clerical error while stealing my email to spam me. My theory is that spammers use those 'monikers' to track from which lists or spam campaign gets responses. Now we are left with one important question: which is worse a dumb spammer, or a crafty marketer spamming? ;-)
