Title: I know it takes all sorts to make the world go around, but I'm having a little..
Post by: col52 on April 29, 2009, 12:02:10 PM

..........trouble understanding some people who waste their time and mine!
I've just received another request via my website on my newsletter e-mail address:

name: ajanktyxmx
 
address1: IszALJmSICJIg
 
address2: oNAGnCvyrz
 
city: YPjsvbUs
 
postcode: Postcode
 
state: NSW
 
country: AU


I say another because I seem to get a regular supply of these.

Can anyone tell me - what's the point?

Col, these are spam - they are generated by a spam script bot. Thousands or millions are automatically generated by such scripts, for generally annoying purposes. Never respond to any such message.

Geez col,

I know what it's like..

I used to get about 5 porn emails per day....Some of which had an "unsubscribe" button... Which, of course, I pressed smartly and often....


Now I get about 15 per day....

My ISP says they are working on a fix. But, I'm thinking the only way will be to change my email addy...Bugga.

Cheers

I've had a few bogus orders, Tilly. Not that many though (touches my wooden head).
