"Hi. My name is Dave and I work for eGroup Limited. I've just taken a look at your website and I think your customers would find our Lady Driver insurance product really interesting."

Oh, for cryin' out loud. Can't you train your bots better than that...?

I think my favourite recentish example of poor spam targeting was getting "Gain 3 Inches in a Month" and "Lose Those Inches Fast" in immediate proximity; had the strong urge to just put these people in touch with each other and cut the intervening parties out.

I got that one too, except it just said "Car insurance product".

I think "Lady Driver insurance product" is just best. Getting things sooo wrong...

They may be trained better than you think. Mrs RJ is thinking of getting a car...

Egroup eh? Hmmm.

I haven't driven a lady in ages... but I should be insured before I do again!
