Best Spam Email Ever – Oil Tanker For Sale

by Patrick Altoft on October 23, 2008

Below is a spam email that just made its way past Gmails filters. Wonder what the conversion rate is on something like this?

Would you buy a brand new oil tanker from a spam email? I bet the affiliate CPA is pretty high.

Ha, I found a post from another blogger who received this email. Not only did he respond to the email, but “Judy” wrote him back and said that it’s a real offer (they’re selling 3 ships for $17,000,000 each).
