Jane Smith (jane85smith@gmail.com) is giving you free love and you should be ashamed of yourself!

May 29th, 2008 · No Comments

If you’re asking yourself: “who is Jane Smith?” then you must have received an email from her, coming from the email address jane85smith@gmail.com. She also writes from live.com and various other addresses.

Don’t respond, don’t worry, hit delete. Forget about it. She’s not worth it: she’s spam.

It’s the oldest trick in the book, but still works every time.

The same power was at play here that made the “I love you” virus so effective - playing on people’s basic need to be loved and the instant suspension of any rational thinking. The “I love you” virus arrived as a love letter attachment to an email which bore the same title. These three words caused millions to open it, and get infected.

And now Jane writes to you: She’s hoping to meet new friends. She came across your profile, or your picture. She liked what she saw. Maybe you two can be friends…

Of course she saw your picture. Get over it.
