I’m working on a few items related to dating site spam. While I put things together, here
s my current favorite opening line from Russian Brides.
“hi, I very much liked your structure and me more…”
I’ve received 25 emails like this on Yahoo! over the past few weeks. Each one exactly the same, with different pictures. For some reason, Match doesn’t seems to suffer from the same inundation of spam that Yahoo does.
I’ve responded to a few of the lovelies, we’ll see what happens.
Yahoo should at run a filter over their active profiles. How difficult can that be? They have hundreds of customer service reps that could work on this. That would be a fantastic customer relations project. “We’re making dating easier, safer and faster for our members.”
If they don’t do it, which they probably won’t, maybe you should think about doing it on your service.
Unfortunately for many free sites, this would reduce the number of active profiles by 40% or more.
