Spam in Hebrew?

excpa — Tue, 19 Sep 2017 17:15:42 GMT

I don't read, write or speak Hebrew, but I'm pretty sure that was the alphabet used. Anyone else get one of these? I don't understand what the spammer hopes to accomplish.

I didn't get one. But if I did, I'd delete it, resisting the temptation to translate using Bing or Google.

Unlikely- it's not Kosher.

Well, tomorrow is Rosh Hashannah-the Jewish New Year and beginning of the High Holy Days....

PS- I think maybe Mel Brooks will use that line" it's not Kosher" in a movie one day...

@excpa, warm wishes for you on our New Year's ......

Hugs,

For a long time I got spam from a German automobile company. And I have gotten Russian spam too. Don't read either language.

At one time there was turkey Spam. That could have been Kosher if the proper turkey was used and it was manufactured according to the Laws of Kashruth.

@jaxs mom I went to an on-line translator and ferreted out the letters in Hebrew. Apparently, the title was "liquidfaction". I didn't click on the e-mail, which is apparently coming through g-mail. I think I stopped it.

There is nothing more dangerous than a retired woman with a lot of time and an internet connection.

@Cats3000

They still make turkey Spam.

I recently donated a can to the food drive that my work recently had, as well as regular Spam, Smoke flavored Spam, Spam Lite.
