Strange Spam

I've been getting this wierd spam in my email box, it's difficult to filter as they use completely new adresses each time, but the content is basically the same gibberish. I can't figure out what the point is and for some reason I'm curious. Why spam with something that makes no sense? It doesn't seem to contain malware or virus. Any ideas?

-------

Graphic about some stock market stuff then this story...


Miss Lydia, looking quite grown up and a little worried, came in fromher room. He could feel it, if he could not see it, and he laughedaloud.
The consternation in the Ellsworth party was past calculating by anyknown standards of measurement. Miss Lydia threw up her hands in silent despair.
Edward, please pull down the shade behind me, she directed. Do you think that picture is fairer than the one you saw of ColonelCalhoun last night? You dont happen to know Peyson Kingsley, of Philadelphia, do you? This one might have seen as many years as had MajorTalbot.
He sat down onthe porch and lit a strong cigar.
Like almost all old people who talk of the past, the Major loved tolinger over details. This one might have seen as many years as had MajorTalbot.
The Major regarded board billsand wash bills as contemptible nuisances.
The bridge is tore out behind us, an were stuck here tillthat water runs out. Duringthe anecdotes Hargraves never failed to laugh at exactly the rightpoint.
Van Kamp passed the note to his wife and sat down or a largechair.
He was quitedecently dressed in a baggy suit of black. I be bound you dont know me, Mars Pendleton, were his first words. Still, as the tickets were bought, they might as well be used. They kept coming in sopersistently and so often. Isnt there a law or something to thateffect?
It makes a perfectly fascinating suite, observed Mrs. He sat down onthe porch and lit a strong cigar.
You arebetter fitted than I to manage its expenditure.
Well, theys ten foot o water in it, an it had ort to bestone dry.
Van Kamp suddenly glowered and strode into the Tutt House.
Hargraves was such a modest andwell-mannered person, that Mrs. He leftSunnymead for the West when you were two years old.
It seems thatmy book didnt lie, after all.
It had occurred to him that the flood mightlast longer than they anticipated.
The consternation in the Ellsworth party was past calculating by anyknown standards of measurement. This place looked so very small that there can scarcely be more thanone comfortable suite in it.
Uncle Mose took a chair and laid his hat carefully on the floor besideit.
I be bound you dont know me, Mars Pendleton, were his first words.
This young man appeared to conceive a strong fancy for Major Talbot.
There wasno one in Washington to whom the Majors scruples allowed him to applyfor a loan.

That is, indeed, strange. It is pointless and stupid as well. Too bad they're wasting your time and theirs.

The text is probably intended to circumvent spam detection software. What is the domain of your ISP? It looks like one or two of the big ones may have had their subscriber lists compromised.

Yeah, I get some weird spam too, but I just press Report Spam, or Mark as Spam, whatever, and they stop.

I have ZoneAlarm, so I would use ZoneAlarm's Challenge Mail, but I can't get it to work!!!!!!!

this is going to my gmail account and I report it but even the domains of the senders change each time so they still get through. It's seems like a lot of effort to get it through, so i have to assume they have a nefarious reason but I can't figure it out.

I get the same message. It seems to be a book extract but the banner at the top is pushing various stocks and shares. I have been getting one or two a day.
Why do they bother, I don't think anyone takes any notice of it.

Maybe it's the Revenge of Reese!. Sorry couldn't resist. I was getting them a while back on Comcast but they seem to have been filtered out. It's just a way to get through spam filters. Some of mine were for stocks, mortgage refi and of course Viagra.

I just cracked the code. This is the nefarious org sending the secret code trying to affect our minds. They may have gotten to Tom Cruise, but they won't get me!

If you don't mind... please post the user ids that the spam PMs are coming from. It is likely they all come from a single IP address, and we can squash it that way.

I've been getting some weird ones in my gmail account as well. Today it was the Three Musketeers (the fighters, not the candy bar!)
