So today I received this e-mail newsletter (aka spam) in my Inbox. I was socked. I couldn’t figure out if the person in the picture is a woman or a man. What’s wrong with the hair? What’s up with the scruffy face but with the makeup? em… I am confused.
I think this is a legit Microsoft newsletter as I examing the e-mail header and the links.

I’m socked too! Nothing like a woman with a 5 o’clock shadow selling spam protection!
Perhaps it’s a special filter that’s built into stock photography. If you use a stock photo and don’t pay for it, there are hidden algorithms that will automatically convert the model’s face into a post-heroin-infused Sara Gilbert when pushed public.
