Post Mon May 31, 2004 10:44 pm

Its called SPAM


I think you meant SCAM ........
But yes, this post is SPAM ......

Post Mon May 31, 2004 11:27 pm

I don't get spam, much. I don't even get the scams from Africa much these days, whereas i used to get them every day almost.

..how about getting me off these antibiotics..

Spam? Really? Damn, Snipa will be crushed. He was SO hoping to win that lottery.

Post Tue Jun 01, 2004 1:14 am

A pity you already entered, eh esq ?

Post Tue Jun 01, 2004 4:04 am

I love the scams that come occationally. Makes for good humur.

Post Tue Jun 01, 2004 2:26 pm

Neo - No. Unfortunately I received no such email. *Sigh* There goes my chance for greatness .

Final - True, they are fun to read. The thing is, I keep telling you numbskulls to stop opening emails from people you don't know, and yet you do it anyway. *Shakes head*

Post Tue Jun 01, 2004 2:46 pm

Esq, I do not open my weird, spaming type and otherwise unsilisted mail, however, my e-mail client, and IP are one and the same. It is open as soon as I open the e-mail program. So in essence, I have no choice, unless I see it between 2 others and delete both. I do pay attention to you, well most of the time.

Post Tue Jun 01, 2004 3:40 pm

That's comforting to know . I didn't mean YOU specifically, stop being so paranoid . I mean that as a generalised "you people" sort of thing.

Post Tue Jun 01, 2004 4:14 pm

@Supa and anyone else interested.

Ask you yourself if you really can get a lot of something for nothing, in this case, for not even having bought a lottery ticket in the first place.

Post Tue Jun 01, 2004 4:18 pm

You mean it's a fake email Ed? I'm mortified!

Post Tue Jun 01, 2004 5:09 pm

MMMM....Scam spam. Gotta love it.....NOT!
