It's all gone to shit

From India with love?

Daizy Priscilla contacted me, inviting me to submit my blahblah to her yadayada. None of it stood out of the ordinary, except she's another lowlife at the gutter publishing house that is Remedy Publications LLC. Daizy must be besties with Alyssa, who works out of the same office address.

The company's website indicates an editorial office in Belmont, California, and an offshore office in Hyderabad, India. The literacy in this message suggests either an above-average Indian, or a below-average Californian.

I'm just not sure about that name, though. Daizy Priscilla seems a bit out there, even for California. (thinking)

None of this is remarkable. The only thing of note is the commonality of messages from these scum. And, while I have added some spammers' messages for the benefit of the address scrapers, most don't get included because they're too dreary and repetitive to comment on.

So, instead, I've added a little page to this site. Email addresses, just for the scrapers.

From a cursory review—it's a slow-news day at work—and for the benefit of any Californians reading this:

  • No native English speaker starts a message with Greetings!, unless they're being flippant or knowingly old timey, and certainly not in business communications. The same goes for Greetings of the day! and Wishes!, glorious or otherwise.
  • Unnecessary use of the definite article: …invite the proficient…. And proficient is a bit weird, experts in the field would be better. Even better still, would be to actually send it to experts in the field, not randoms like me, but I digress.
  • …like you…: such as yourself, or leaving this out altogether, would be better.
  • …submit the Manuscripts for the Special Issue…: incorrect use of the definite article. If manuscripts, plural, are being solicited, the first instance should be removed; otherwise, the indefinite article. The second instance should be indefinite, since the special issue has not been mentioned before.
  • …appreciate to receive submissions…: appreciate receiving submissions, appreciate the receipt of submissions, or, better still, appreciate submissions.
  • …by October…: beginning, end, second week?

Possibly other stuff that I've overlooked. I may be bored, but I'm not that bored.

I'm sticking this here, simply because it's not worth its own post, but worth noting the UTC timestamp is neither California nor Telangana.
