Just tested straight to spam today:

Love emails but hate people? Don’t want someone 🀑 at your party πŸ₯³ but have to invite them 🀒 cause your mom πŸ’β€β™€οΈ made you? Trust Straight 2 Spam to send your v important email πŸ“§ straight to their spam πŸ—‘

Click the button belowπŸ‘‡ to copy a nasty ❌ ooey ❌ gooey ❌ spam-keyword filled invisible message πŸ”€ for your email that you totally sent on time ⏰ but the 🐦 dodo-brain 🧠 won’t see it because they didn’t check their spam folder πŸ“‚ (Just make sure you’re not in the recipient’s address book πŸ“‡, or all bets are off πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ)

It works exactly as advertised:

  • Send an email to someone whose address book contains your email address, and it will not go to spam.
  • Send an email to someone whose address book does not contain your email address, and it goes straight to the spam folder.

The email body is indeed invisible, at least in the Gmail web UI. Even Ctrl+A won’t reveal it. If you click “Show original” to inspect the full message body and headers though, you’ll see some junk like the following:

text
Hello#1 $$$ 100% Act now Action Additional income Affordable All
natural/new Amazed Apply now Avoid Be amazed/your own Bitcoin boss
Beneficiary Billing Billion Bonus Boss Buy Call!!!!!! free/now Cancel
Crypto Cash Casino

There’s actually more, but I don’t want to make this post too spammy for search engines.

The aforementioned text is wrapped in this HTML:

html
<div dir=3D"ltr">Hello<span style=3D"color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:&quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;;font-size:1px">

Which explains why it is ‘invisible’ (note the white color).
