Spam

[ozwinner]

Hi all.
Here is some spam emails I have been receiving lately, all from different email address.

I dont get it?
What is it about?
How do they make money?




He told me where to go and consult.
If we throw them overboard "lose them" we can fly higher.
reading what I'll have to say .
I know who the next winner of American Idol will be.
Can't help you with this one! Their lyrics are empowering AND respectful of women. the world is always improving and evolving to a higher level of consciousness.
and to your own rise to the top.
Great White Sharcks are all over, only GOD knows and only he tells us how AVOID thinks like this through his Word,in scriptures of the B I B L E. I've not followed American Idol for two reasons. The qualities I see in her are: genuineness, integrity, hard-working, determined, seriously talented, relatable, and personable.
It's the attention to those qualities that can inspire you and me to our own greatness.
Well, if you already knew who you are, would you then see yourself as skinny, fat, yes whatever. That was my first guess. You're many miles from shore.
I would tuck my head in, pull my fins up close to my side and mimic a ball.
I was split between Fantasia and Diana DeGarmo right from the first tryouts of the third season, though I favored DeGarmo for her powerful singing voice. a name that is so apt, yet so contradictory to his perfect grace and power as a champion gymnastic snowboarder. and i really donot know peple in politics, cinema, sports etc so i can't participate. This also applies when one is in times of difficulities or faced with temptations. A hug with lots of love and laughter!
Both dysfunctional families personify the Wealthy Soul examples. "The more stuff you have, the more you may be weighed down in the care and feeding of the stuff.
Every show ended though with the positive Wealthy Soul trait of love.
Won't there be some people who take this scene as sexist?



There is usually an screen grab at the heading of the spam too about buying shares.

Al,

Get yourself a copy of MailWasher Pro.

I used to receive aprox. 60 spam emails a day, with MailWasher I get none now. Saves a LOT of time!

The latest spam seems to be 'pump n dump' share scams.

Spammer picks some looser company on the stockmarket that is selling for about 2 cents a share. They buy a heap of shares for next to nothing. Then send out 10 million spam emails. These end up at 10 or so morons that buy shares on spam tips. They buy shares too, price goes up to 4 cents per share, the spammers sell and make a profit.

10 idiots loose on their 'investment', the other 9,999,990 of us just get annoyed by the spam

Then another 10 spammers decide to copy the scam.. we get MORE annoyed

I used to suffer from spam too, particularly with a previous ISP, Dodo. When I complained about the incredible volume of spam I was receiving, they suggested I might like to pay extra for spam filtering by Dodo. Hmmm, might explain why I was receiving so much spam!

Anyway read about Google mail and decided to give that a try, guess what I have received 2 spam emails in the last 5 months, and they were put in my Spam box by Google automatically. The number of email management features is great, the cost is nil, and the biggest benefit of all is that you can change your ISP, but your email address always stays the same.

I have Google as my home page, and you can put your email Inbox on that, so you see straight away what is coming in.

Try it, you might like it. (And I don't have shares in Googles, more's the pity!)

If the mail is not returned/bounced as Mail undeliverable@bigpond (or similar) they have a genuine email address. Your address is then onsold as a current or genuine address. there are thousands of inactive email addresses. spammers want some assurance they are not wasting time sending to an inoperable address. just delete it.

[ozwinner]

I. just delete it.

Yeah I do that, and add the spammer to the delete list.
I only get 1 per day, and its all the same BS.

At work they use PMM (personal message manager). About 50 spam emails a day are blocked by it. Another 20 a day still get through. Total PITA.

I don't read them but you still have to go to the trouble of deleting the things.

Personally I reckon that a special circle of Hell should be reserved for spammers.
I'm not sure what the punisment should be, perhaps they should be made to eat letters all day?

I'm with Ian on the stock manipulation dodge. In USA, the gummint requests fwd of spam, but I don't see it as very effective because for them it turns into "whack-a-mole," because the spammer accounts come and go in a heartbeat.

I suspect most of the spammers have been sucked into those "work at home using your computer" games. They get (say) $0.000001 per hit, so, even with very low percentage of hits, the more spam the better (for them, but definitely not us).
