Best Spam Email Ever – Oil Tanker For Sale
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.

Once I get that $32 million the nice man in Nigeria has promised me I’m definitely going to get me one of these…
That… that is just extraordinary.
Maybe they really do have one for sale, and think you’d be interested…
…what? It’s possible!
You’re sure it’s not that someone has signed you up for the greasy tankers mailing list?
Boom Boom, I’m here all week enjoy your steak
I want two, please
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).
Dude, those emails have nothing on mine!

I’ve put my name down for two – so you may have to move quick
Heck, with all the “you’ve won the national lottery” from all over the world, i’m
not richer then Trump and Gates combined. I’ll take 2 of these…..*LOL*
That is a great email. I wonder if anybody actually wanted to purchase it?
It’s been through a lot for a 2008.
You would be surprised! Some people will fall for anything.
Hahaha, i never read spam mail but it can be hilarious sometimes =’)
All you touts that have nothing to do than scrambling through the web daily condeming other people.
What do you know about shipping for a start?? That mail in question is a ”circular” from a shipbroker that is well-known within shipping circle. So, if you receive such mail and feel that it is mistake and without value to you, why cant you do the honorable thing by deleting it and mind your business?
Am disppointed that the world is still full of ignorants, despite that we are living in an information age. What do ”Nigeria” has to do with that mail from Judy Qian, …as that thing above that call himself CIARAN is trying to portray. He is talking as if Nigeria is the haedquarters of scammers, when we all know that countries like the USA, UK, RUSSIA, GERMANY, CANADA, ETC, ETC, keeps producing record-holders in world of scam each year. Every well-iformed person, except CIARAN, know one from USA that recently bagged 150 years jail for being the king of scammers. But am not hearing anyone shouting about it. Instead, it is Nigeria that ignorants like CIARAN keep on the tip of their tongues daily.
Also, the simple truth is that most of the victums of scam are criminals themself. If someone tell you that you will be paid for a ”contract” that you never did, or that you will be paid for a ”lottery” that you never played, or that you will be supplied goods at a ridiculous price below sensible imagination, why not you walk away from the deal, and report the person to the cops…if not because you are also a criminal??? I also receive such mails, but I do delete them right away…or in some cases, save some if I feel that they makes good comedy.
But when you stuck your ass somewhere in Western world waiting for stolen money from one ”stupid” African country to be transfered to your bank account so that you will cash it and disapear, NOBODY will cry for you if you are defrauded along the line. You and the person that defaruded you are in same category. CRIMINALS!! What then happens is that ”overtake then overtakes overtake”. Goodluck!!!!
