    These have been arriving at about 4 different (unconnected) addresses on several of my sites today. Weird stuff.

    Yeah, same here:

    They used to just add these seemingly innocent bits of nonsense to lower the SPAM factor but now I get mails with JUST those weird paragraphs... useless, not even a virus of RX offer.

    Its the first time I have received lots of spam with no link whatsoever in it. There must be a reason for it (maybe they want me to reply to verify my address is correct?).

    just the sheer numbers of spam the last few weeks has me boggled. It doubled from what I was getting before. I had to make some adjustments so I don't actually have to see them.

    None of this stuff is getting caught by the filters.

    Could be as simple as someone cocking up their spam sending mechanism, forgetting to include the image, link, virus or whatever.
