Ever answer the phone and the moment you say "Hello" the person or machine at the other end hangs up? It's a robocaller that's waiting for your answering machine or voice mail to take the call so you're forced to listen, even if for a few seconds.
Spammers appear to be adopting a similar tactic, knowing that when you mark an email as spam, your email client or web-based email scans it for a pattern and adds it to its database of suspect spam without ever being seen by human eyes. The result: emails deliberately pile up in the folder the spammers KNOW you need to check to make sure legit emails aren't going there: your spam folder.
Took a while to figure out the similarity of layout, the broken English in the ubiquitous "Can_not REad this ADvertizement? YOUll need 2 CLICK! this onnline verzion and other planted triggers.
Spammers: the dumber they appear, the smarter they are.
The sheer brilliance of apparent spammer stupidity
