Made it through my spam filters today. I'm a little annoyed that it got through but even more annoyed with the senders lack of thought surely .uk would suggest that sending some thing in cyrilic script would be a wast of time.

Maybe he/she merely wanted to impress you with his/her command of vowel useage??

It is an insurance offer. It is obviously intended for domestic Russian market. I thnk your e-mail was picked up accidentally.

Insurance I might have guessed not even something interesting.

It happens lots of us. I used to get Turkish spam.

You can't blame the filter really -- some people want foreign mail.

I can understand a .com adress getting foriegn spam. It's not country specific but I had thought that a .uk adress would be a less of an attraction to country specific stuff. The amount of US loan sharks and Canadian drug pushers in the spam box should have warned me.

Same here, X42, I have a dot nl address and still get tons of spam for cut price medications that I get for free anyhow, and I quite regularly am notified that my US mortgage has been approved. No wonder those guys are in deep water, if they just give them away.

I just get lots of messages from lonely 'nice little Russian' girls.
