Spammers Have Cool Names

February 8, 2008 in Other Stuff with Comments Off

My Gmail account has captured about 50 spam messages in the last 24 hours. Typically I just scan that folder every few days, make sure I didn’t miss anything important, and then delete all the messages. As I was scanning the folder today, though, it occurred to me that spammers have really cool names. In fact, I’m kind of wishing I was a spammer so I could have a fun spammer name. In other words, I don’t think "Tony Morgan" would sell very many replica watches or ED pills.

I know you are a curious crowd. So, just for the fun of it, I thought I’d share some of the names. With that in mind, here are my:

10 Favorite Real Names of Real Spammers

  1. Israel Becker
  2. Hollis Kiser
  3. Emery Tanner
  4. Tyson Monroe
  5. Latasha Blount
  6. Dr. Terrance Judd
  7. Margarita Steele
  8. Giovanni Hicks
  9. Maude Russo
  10. Beverly Beaver

Don’t you agree? Spammers have really cool names.

This, of course, raises an important question. If you were a spammer, what would your spammer name be? I think mine would be Henry Hampton.
