I've often had that strange feeling that someone's watching
me. I've recorded these suspicious incidents in articles like this: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/07/big-spammer-is-watching-you-3-tripod.html.
Now I've had a spam email that demonstrates once again that there is a system
somewhere building a profile on me based on my tastes and interests expressed
though internet activity. This email is different though; it has a particular
hospital portering theme. The companies on that list all exist. I have a
feeling the text is an AI translation because of its stilted syntax and
somewhat forced tone. I'm not sure why all the words in the opening sentence
are capitalized. The last line includes a phrase in two foreign languages,
German and Chinese, and both mean "best regards". I tried Googling
"Bella's" full name and it came up a blank. I find it disturbing that
there is somebody out there who has created a "file on me", even if
it just an automated system and even if it's for an innocent purpose; in this
case advertising. It could even be beneficial because it could connect me to
products that might interest me. The problem is that if online advertising
agencies can do this to me who else can? What else do they know about me? What
do they plan to use the information for?
