Japanese Spam seems to be growing in e-mail inboxes across the globe. Or at least in mine. I have been recieving it for some time now, some of it has links to sites where, presumably, I can buy small japanese women.

How ever, recently I have been receving spam without links in it (and it has been defeating my spam blocker.

My question is, can any of you tell me what the gist of this email actually says?

This spam, to my knowledge, is completely uninitiated. That is, I haven't been giving my address to japanese websites (:

My wonderful wife says this is an offer from an unhappy married woman whose travelling businessman husband is away. As the meme says:

Just delete the crap and go on with your life - Sparky

PS - it's some sort of lowlevel extortion scheme with granny aged phone sex workers.

O.O

THAT explains why my gmail, which used to have 0 spams for 5 months, suddenly started having 100spams a week...all in Japanese!

...or wait, do you mean your inbox IN mixi?

I hate Japanese spams.
Once, I was bored and I opened one that appeared rather harmless.

it went something like "I'm sad, and depressed, and need someone right now."
