I got one of those emails where they pretend to be a real company and ask you for your credit card number and pin, but the text had all the letters in each word rearranged (presumably so spam filters wouldn't read it, although this one was caught in a spam filter). I copied the text of the thing, but when I pasted it to a friend they said they couldn't read it.
This is what I copied (only part of the email):
and e‮iretn‬ng y‮uo‬r ba‮kn‬ ATM-‮tibeD‬ Card nu‮rebm‬ and PIN t‮tah‬ you.
Hmm. OK, I'm completly nutso. When I pasted THE EXACT SAME line into AIM it was readable. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE HELP UN-CONFUSE ME?
/me falls into a ball and starts crying.
After previewing this comment:
Woah, that completely did something weird.It didn't look like that in the email, it was regular text, just the letters were rearanged. When I pasted it into iChat it was text but with the letters in the right place.
Wibble. I hope my hyper confused ramblings make sense to someone that can explain and help me. |
