Giant Rabbit
Somebody thinks I'm selling Giant Rabbits. Yesterday I got this spam email from someone who says he's John Barber and he wants to buy a Giant Rabbit.
My name is John Barber and this order is an individual order. I like to make a purchase of a Giant Rabbit and I will be more than happy if you can email me with the types and prices that you have for sale. Please let me know if you do accept credit card as a form of payment, and that will be pick up at your location. Hope to read back from you soon. Kind Regards, John Barber.
I don't understand why people sent these spam messages because what are they trying to gain? There's no link to click. Putting this message into Google shows a lot of the same emails. The only difference is the product they want to buy. They differ from post drivers and rotary brooms to popcorn machines. From me they want a Giant Rabbit.

I don't know anything about the Spam email aspects of the picture, but the actual picture is from a postcard that was available in the 1960's or 1970's when I was a kid (it was one of my favorites). It was at time when trick photography brought you Jack-Alopes and other mythical wild west creatures. This particular postcard had a slogan on it that said "Saddling up Big Jack" when I bought it.
I think they're just trying to verify that it's an active email address. (Which would be verified if you replied.)
If you email a WTF back, out of curiosity, they've verified it's an active email address.
