You have to laugh sometimes

Seems like as soon as September rolls around, spammers go into high gear. The flood of spam offers, contests you’ve never entered but won a prize anyway, scam invoices for services you never ordered, invitations to check out porn, and sales on pharmaceuticals…it just keeps showing up. I block the IP’s but now that VPN’s are in use, I assume that affects the email as well. Sigh…

Today I got one that just made me laugh out loud. It was a solicitation for some outfit (clearly outside the USA with the poor grammar) wanting to do our payroll. Ordinarily scammers use phony names that are relatively ordinary (or at least combinations of names they think sound American) On this one, the sender is listed as “Market Expansion Coordinator Market Penetration Specialist Demand Generation Coordinator Brand Development Specialist Growth Marketing Analyst Product Adoption Manager Brand Enhancement Analyst Marketing Operations Coordinator Revenue Growth Strategist Growth Strategy Manager Marketing Optimization Analyst Product Adoption Specialist Customer Success Advocate Market Expansion Planner Customer Retention Analyst Product Integration Specialist Brand Development Coordinator Sales Growth Specialist Marketing Analytics Manager Marketing Efficiency Analyst Product Adoption Coordinator Customer Success Consultant Market Expansion Director Client Engagement Director Brand Development Director Sales Growth Director Marketing Campaign Analyst Customer Experience Specialist Revenue Growth Director Revenue Maximization Strategist Product Adoption Director Marketing Innovation Coordinator Market Expansion Strategist Product Engagement Manager Brand Development Strategist Growth Marketing Manager Sales Growth Coordinator Customer Loyalty Specialist Customer Retention Coordinator Customer Experience Director Revenue Growth Coordinator Market Expansion Architect Product Adoption Strategist Customer Success Coordinator Market Expansion Advisor Customer Retention Strategist Sales Growth Strategist Marketing Operations Director Brand Identity Designer Sales Acceleration Analyst Marketing Campaign Manager Product Adoption Advisor Growth Hacking Specialist Market Expansion Specialist Product Adoption Consultant Brand Development Manager Sales Growth Advisor Marketing Analytics Coordinator Marketing Transformation Manager Revenue Optimization Analyst Revenue Growth Manager Marketing Optimization Coordinator Customer Success Evangelist Market Expansion Consultant Customer Experience Advisor Revenue Growth Advisor Marketing Strategy Manager Customer Growth Analyst Brand Experience Coordinator Sales Funnel Optimization Specialist Sales Growth Manager Marketing Analytics Director Product Adoption Evangelist Customer Experience Manager Revenue Growth Specialist Marketing Insights Coordinator Revenue Growth Accelerator Marketing Performance Analyst Client Engagement Analyst Brand Development Analyst Customer Satisfaction Manager Customer Lifecycle Manager Growth Strategy Specialist Revenue Growth Analyst Market Expansion Expert Customer Relationship Specialist Brand Engagement Strategist Sales Growth Accelerator Product Adoption Expert”
