Still find it hard to believe that people actually fall for these scam.Sigh.........
What has the world become ???
-
I ain't lying but I haven't got even a single spam from day 1.
-
Well, I guess you're lucky then. I don't get much, but it happens.
-
I do get messages in my spam folder (rarely 1/month) but they'll be false positives.
-
That really is the first one that has slid straight into my in-box.
All of the Stud-in-a-bottle,and free Manhatten Island property, stuff
normally hits the spam folder.
I will submit it to the site given,not because I really thank it will do
a lot of good,but because it is a legitimate use for the hope that springs eternal in the human breast,these scum prey on.
-
Well if more start getting by your junk email box, and you get annoyed by it, I suggest http://www.spamarrest.com
I've been using it for several years and I highly recommend. Pretty cheap.
Then again, if you only have a few spams pass through, I don't think paying for an anti-spam service is needed.
Good luck!

nmb: Email submitted as per site instructions. thanks.
scythe944: No,not enough to bother me.
Are you old enough to remember comic books
and the offers for "X-Ray Specs",and 'Sea Monkeys",at the back?
kind of the same thing.
I know its crap of the purest ray serene,but..What if?
-

Lol, well, try it out and see what happens...
I don't think you'll enjoy the outcome of it though!
On second thought, don't try it out, it was a joke! Bad times, had by all. MUCH worse than sea monkeys turning out to be brine shrimp...
-
Amen.I know. I never did order the X-Ray Specs though.
-
Well, I did order the sea monkeys and I was crushed. Much more than you would be if you gave some lunatic your information from that phishing email that you got!
