Spam Emails, Chain Emails, "forward This To Everyone" Emails....

dabbler · #1 (**permalink**) May 23, 06

ok srsly people...

when you get passed an email that has anything along the lines of
"pass this on to everyone you know..."

it's NOT FUCKING REAL!

these emails are only designed for one thing... to get massive lists of email addresses to SELL to companies so they can spam you more.

i)msn and hotmail aren't going to charge you money if you don't pass it on

ii)bill gates isn't going to pay you X amount of $ per person, and X-$1 for everyone those people pass it to etc etc...

iii)your friend didn't actually send you an email from hi five network asking for your birthdate, they were already too gullible and signed up, and now that company has access to their hotmail contact list.

iv)all these email addresses aren't going to save shit in some foreign country when the government sees how many people have forwarded this on....

v)insert other crap here

WHY IS EVERYONE SO GULLIBLE?

i made up that "gullible isn't in the dictionary" bit and i saw it on "family guy" the other night. that's fucking cool.

dabbler · #18 (**permalink**) May 25, 06

fukc that you made it up. you should get bad karma for making another gullible joke about a cliche'd gullible joke.

Why not just delete them as soon as you see them?

dabbler · #20 (**permalink**) May 25, 06

^^ because by the time you get one, it's too late, they've already included your email address and sent it to everyone else they sent it to as well.

Some of them seem so real. I can see why sensitive human beings would be affected by the rape of 12 year old African girls (that's the last spam I got). The sad part is people are sick enough to exploit the worst human tragedies just to fill your junk mail folder with EnLaRgEyOuRpEnIs shit, cheapmedsonline, and emails from fake aquantances you've never met. Has anyone ever bought anything through a spammail ever in the history of internet usage?

dabbler · #22 (**permalink**) May 25, 06

^^ spam obviously works for the cost/benifit ration, or they wouldn't do it.

i've been saying it for years. honest to whatever god you hold sacred.

dabbler · #24 (**permalink**) May 26, 06

you're too crooked to be honest ;)

crookedking · #25 (**permalink**) May 26, 06

that's my problem.

people believe me when i lie, but they don't when i tell them truth.
