Scam email question

I've been getting 'male improvement' emails and online doctorate emails etc etc etc

Usual bollox and they go straight into the delete folder.

The emails all contain a link and then, at the end, what appears to be 3 paragraphs of 'stream of consciousness' text: Way bat bear back key. Smell than last put only race thus. Was place tool feel reveal story too fail.Step value suggest into.Section ways son was proper dont short them examine.Arm broke inch glad closed experiment.... and so on.

Anyone got any idea why these emails contain this sort of text and what purpose it serves?

Unless the scammers/senders are simply into free form jazz poetry.

 


When the time comes, I want die just like my Dad - at peace and asleep.
Not screaming and terrified.
Like his passengers.

My hunch is that it's a bit different in each email in a bid to avoid as many spam filters as possible?

Because they are written by Johnny Foreigner. Won't happen post Brexit. Plus we can go back to measuring our junk in inches.

It's an attempt to avoid getting caught in spam filters by putting in a load of non naughty words
