Vaguest piece of spam I’ve read in quite a while

Charlie,

Thanks for registering for the executive lunch happening this week. We still have some room and wanted to make sure we extended the invitation to those that would benefit from the event.

If you know of any other IT directors or folks involved in IT management that would benefit from attending feel free to pass along the invite and have them register here: http: //www……..com/lunch-and-learn/signup.aspx

I look forward to seeing you!

It goes without saying that I didn’t register for an executive lunch happening this week. I notice there’s no mention of the topic under discussion, what’s being pitched or sold, or when this non-event is being held. It also doesn’t mention where this lunch is supposedly being served, but 415 is the San Francisco area code; that’s a long way from South Cacalacky for a meal. I’ve seen master’s theses with fewer letters than what that shortened URL mapped to. I hope any “any other IT directors or folks involved in IT management” I work with would seriously question my career opportunities were I foolish enough to extend this “invite”.

At least the spamming app mined my name correctly.
