Most of the spam that I get are obviously spam, because the formatting and style are so overtly different than legitimate emails from legitimate companies, which I'm thankful for, but why is that?
Some spam is so badly formatted that the subject line doesn't even come close to correlating with the content; are the spammers just too lazy? A modicum of due diligence would make it so much more challenging to figure out whether it's spam. I've seen a couple of videos on Youtube where you'd have to deep dive into the guts of the message to figure our that the email address was spoofed, but that's less than 5% of the emails I get. The rest are from xyz32432423ou@gmail.com, or similar, so out it goes, or the subject line is obviously bogus, like ### You Won !! ###.
Just curious.
