Oh my god, spam is getting so wierd. At least, I think it's spam. I don't know, because it's not actually in a language I can understand, or even recognise. Does anyone at all recognise anything about these messages? Language? Content?

If it's just another Enlarge Your Penis!11 and I will be very disappointed. ;)

There are a couple of others that are all along the same lines, but that's the longest one. Looking at the links I start to suspect, too, that it's German, but I don't want to... you know... click them or anything so.

But the most disturbing thing by far? it comes from someone at ird.govt.nz. *crying* nooooooooooo, I'm getting spam from Inland Revenue!

ETA: thinkaholic recognised it as Nazi Propaganda Spam/virus, so I'm getting rid of all the links up there just in case. Thanks, Mike, and anyone, fi you're getting crazy German spam, JUST DELETE.

Also: still finding it creepy that, apparently, an IRD computer was affected by the virus. *uncomfortable* I don't like to bitch about the public service (hang on, does it even count?) but...

It looks like german. However, I can't read German. My mom can, but I really don't fell like having her find my LJ. Also, I'm supposed to be grounded at the moment. For numeruous translators, try here (http://german.about.com/library/bltransltxt.htm).

@ird.govt.nz? SOUNDS LIKE IRD TO ME.

Plus, it's clearly evil. spam=evil taxes=evil so taxes=spam...

Heh.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

*g* Maybe it's evolving? Sort of like Gmail Text Advertising, which I admit I think is sort of clever although I still wouldn't clikc them.

Re: Sounds to me

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! That looks like it. *deletes, blocks*

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Heh. Really? Bizarre.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

I think thinkaholic found it for me, so I won't bother translating Nazi propaganda... *sigh* :) thanks though.

It's called domain spoofing. It's very common with spam and virus messages. It's very unlikely to be IRD. If you think it is, forward the message to webmaster@ird.govt.nz

Yes, IRD is a part of the core Public Service

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

BUT IRD IS EVIL. How come my beautiful logical argument hasn't got you convinced?

Okay.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

:P I missed this, no idea why. Input totally appreciated.

[chattycheese.livejournal.com]

no prob. anytime.

hey, could I get you to take a look at the application page in the playroom? I can't get any text to show up underneath the form, and I have absolutely no idead what i'm doing. (beyond adding boxes to the form)

help, please!

vv

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

I'll take a look... I may not be able to do anything, though...

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Hey, look, I can't- I can't get access to some pages and the application page is one of them, along with the entry page and stuffs... I'm really sorry! But, suggestion, try closing the tables and cells or something?Because it doesn't look like it's closed.

Good luck!
