I already posted about this over on Bluesky, but for anyone wondering how dire the current glut of AI-enabled, author-targeted scam emails is, this is what the spam folder for my professional email address currently looks like:

Like. It's absolutely fucking insane. I go into more detail on the Bluesky thread, but these scammy slopportunities are everywhere at the moment, and the ones that make it past the spam filters into my main inbox are worse. Every author I know is being inundated with this shit, and it makes me rabid.

Of all the spam emails in my spam folder, most of which are for medical issues that I don't have (often featuring body parts I don't have), it's refreshing to find something unique for a change.

I'm not going to buy a mini chainsaw anytime soon, but I appreciate the offer.

#spam email #it's hilarious how off-base most of it is #and the rest is weak efforts at pretending to be something legit #but occasionally there's something that makes me laugh

I got a hilarious sp*m email today from name AT gmail dot com telling me my SS account has been terminated (seems legit already) but the MESSAGE part of the email is SENDING me:

"I truly appreciate your kind sentiments. I enjoyed helping, and I'm willing to help you with any communication-related tasks in the future. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you ever n eed additional guidance. Enjoy your day, take care of yourself, and stay alive"

STAY ALIVE??? AHAHAHAHAHAH like the rest is a generic applies to all instances thing but not "stay well" or "stay safe" STAY ALIVE too funny XD

MAILMAN. IT WOULD BE A LIE TO SAY YOU'RE THE FIRST I'VE SEEN FROM YOUR DIRECT ROOTS. BUT, I WONDER. ARE YOU GOING TO LET YOURSELF BE PUPPETEERED BY ANOTHER OF ME? OR WILL YOU GAIN THE COURAGE TO SAY NO? WELL. WHATEVER THE CASE. THE LIGHTNERS COMMUTE WILL GO SMOOTHLY WITH OR WITHOUT YOU. LET'S HOPE THEY DON'T IGNORE YOUR PLEAD.
