My Disgust at spam!!
Today i received the spam email that i have quoted below. I just spotted the subject in my junk mail folder before deleting them all and i was immediately disgusted. I know that a lot of spam e-mail is pretty bad but whoever is sending this crap around is the lowest of the low.
I don't have HIV, cancer or any other diseases but i can imagine that anyone who does and is at a really low point might be desperate enough to actually think this junk email holds water. I am absolutely disgusted at the depths of inhumanity that these people will lower them to in order to make a cheap buck. Absolutely disgusted. I've pointed out where i have removed parts of this email in square brackets. Quote:

That is pretty fucked up. Unfortunately Spam is still seen as a victimless crime but the issue needs re-addressed. Hopefully the generation that has had to grow up with it will be the ones to legislate it out of existence soon.

What's sad is that you just know there are people out there who've paid money for this "antidote."

It's the Snake Oil Panacea of the new millenium. :(

I just hope no one _switches_ from normal medication to this in order to try it. :mad: |
Ya, that is messed up. It's very sad to see how low some people will sink.
|
I still don't get why people waste their time setting up programs and networks just for spam. Do they get some kind of weird joy out if it?

I couldn't tell the difference between that email and the average commerical for any FDA approved anti-depressant. I can understand your digust at the email - I find it amazingly disgusting how low people will go to exploit the ignorant - but sadly enoug, circumstances such as these are commonplace.
There's no sense in crying over spilled milk - especially if it spills all day long, every day of the week. |
Aaahhh, the internet...
I figured out "the antidote" some time ago and I'll share it with you: http://www.timecube.com/ http://www.zombo.com/ Take one of each twice a day and call me in a month. |
If you have time send an email back and play a joke on the lowlife who is sending the emails. This reminds me of when Smething Awful worte back to the Nigerian dude.

Yes. Just think of how fast the Net would be if not for the billions of garbage messages, filters, and security measures needed to deal with this electronic plague...

What amazing about spam is that is must actually work, or they'd stop doing it! I simply can't beleive people actually fall for this junk, it's mindboggling to think that these techniques are actually effective!

Apparently like .005% of people actually buy stuff through emails. I find even that much truly amazing.
As far as it being a victimless crime, I don't buy that at all. I probably spend 10% of my day dealing with issues who have their source from spam. Servers overload, because spammers will totally "spam" a domain with email. Not to mention that I read that I think 75% of email traffic on the internet is spam. |
