I'm about to lose my home to foreclosure, but I should buy into time shares and satellite tv. I’m fat and Linda has a weight loss blog just for me. Acai Berry will flush me and make me lose 20 lbs. I should get an education and my pet should get his nails trimmed… I guess I didn’t know that. I’m so glad the internet told me the truth about myself. Now I can go to these websites, give them my credit card number and be assured that they will take care of everything for me. Now wait a minute! You are telling me this is all a scam?! You have to be kidding me! Well, yeah, I don’t need Cialis because I am a woman, and my doctor never said I was overweight. In fact, I have a healthy weight. And you’re right, I am not losing my home, I certainly don’t need a time share condo and although I'm not thrilled with my cable provider, I don't know that I want to switch to satellite, even though my television will supposedly stop working in a couple of months. But why then are all these sites trying to sell me something? According to the spam.abuse.net website, it is much cheaper for these advertisers to send out emails than it would be if they used any other media. These spammers spend probably $100 a day to send out millions of ads and we, the receivers, spend more money (in cash and time) getting rid of them. Oh and don't "opt out" of receiving any more emails from these crooks. This just proves to them there's a real email address and they'll just keep you on their lists. What can we do about it? You can trace it and report it. You may not receive any more from this spammer, but others will still find you. You can hide your email address when sending email to companies or you can install spam email blocking and filtering. It all seems a little complicated and time consuming. But just think of the time you will save when you won't have to deal with spam anymore. Enough time to read Linda’s weight loss blog. Hey why don’t I write a blog about weight loss? Then I can spam everyone with it! Reference = spam.abuse.net Sponsored by EnterTo.com the first REAL spam free email
