I find it interesting the many forms spam has taken over the years. I recall the days back when I was naive enough to be on AOL and would find myself in a chat room bombarded with instant messages to check out the latest miracle cure for impotence. Then there was the pre pop-up blocker era in which I would click a link only to find my computer unmercifully opening window after window of sites pertaining to penile enlargement. My current version of Outlook thankfully has a junk email filter which sifts most of the adverts encouraging me to buy all my prescription needs online.
The latest attack involves none other than this nifty little blog I’m diligently maintaining. Every morning I awake to a dozen or so post from online casinos leaving some generic message with a link back to their site. As I’m deleting these entries, I can’t help but wonder if all those spammers think I wish to be a well endowed, gambling, nymphomaniac who’s addicted to drugs!
I get the same spam on my blog. I suppose because of my list of mp3z, I can add one more to your list, and that is of music downloads.
Do you mean you are getting spam about music downloads? That would make you a Well endowed, music loving, gambling, nymphomaniac who is addicted to drugs?
The SPAM I’ve been getting lately has been the “You have won the Lottery in Gotsyapurse and all you have to do is to send us $1,000,000 US funds as “good faith money” and we’ll send you your winnings”. OR, “Our poor war ravaged country is about to be over run by Bank One executives and we want to give you our country’s fortune to keep safe until the Bank One executives leave. All you have to do … US funds … Yeah, right!
Grrrr Mike, You know I don’t gamble
scratch that
I think you know I gamble a bit
you KNOW I am not addicted to drugs
Barb, you forget I have access to your prescription records at work!! hehehehe (J/k)
