Interesting new approach to spam - fake conversations

I've noticed a new method being used by spammers. Take a look at this.

You're a savvy lady and you deserve to have gorgeous items. You've been
working so hard; you actually deserve a chic looking time piece to show off
all your success.


I can just visualize the overjoyed look on your face when you receive your
order. Not only are the prices reasonable, but this web page has real time
tracking, as well.

Well, I fell upon an e store that has lots of excellent ones and I honestly
think you should stop by.

Now here's what this email is about. The bit at the bottom was marked as coming from my address, therefore making it look like it was me who originally sent an advert for the web site to Meira. The top bit is the fake reply to the fake original where Meira for some curious reason to invite me to visit the web site mentioned in the original mail, which appears to have come from me.

Why do they do this? I presume it's to trick mail admins. When I report this as spam, the mail admin who looks at the mail could well thing that I initiated the contact myself. It's an interesting new approach.

I've noticed a general increase in emails where the sender pretends to be my friend. Of course the language they use is just like Meira's, bloody weird for want of a better phrase. It reads like a poorly translated statement taken from a drunk marketing executive.

The email above was advertising an online store in China that sells replica watches. The URL of the site is desiredspecalshere.com. I'd strong advise against buying anything from this site. If anyone is considering purchasing online from a web site hosted in China, you may as well just send the money to my PayPal account. You'll get nothing in return from me but at least I'm honest about it.
