So I open my Hotmail account this morning, and lo! I have spam. In among the 2 prescription drugs spam and the "elt A bigger willly lpsvv " spam, I spy one simply titled “Victoria’s Secret”.
Now, fortunately enough, I don’t get alot of spam. And even less porn spam, so this quite naturally excited my senses. Its not every day that lingerie models arrive in my inbox. I immediately click on it, hoping to be titilated by some risque pictures. :dubious:
But, like a sand castle before a tsunami, my expectations are crushed. With a heinous bait-and-switch, The email turns out to be only another home business spam offering the secret behind the success of some housewife named Vicotria (who does not even resemble a lingerie model :().
So I must reassemble my shattered spirit and go on with the knowledge that I cannot trust spam to deliver what it promises.
lol, I got the “Victoria’s Secret” spam mail too (i have a yahoo account). I opened it, thinking it was odd that a legitimate business was sending spam (yeah, that’s the reason :rolleyes: ), and it turned out to be another one of those lame money-making schemes. I think we should sue, class-action style!
I probably wouldn’t bother opening a spam that had “Victoria’s Secret” in the subject line.
The ones that really piss me off are the ones that look like they’re legitimate emails. Even the sender’s name looks genuine, nothing obvious like “Acme Marketing” or whatever. The subject line will say something like “Hello”, “I haven’t heard from you in awhile” or even “(no subject)”. There’s no way to tell they’re no good without opening them first. Fortunately I use “Mailwasher” so I can bounce them when they turn out to be spam, and since Mailwasher only looks at the plain text and not any embedded HTML it won’t trigger any indications that the email was opened and was sent to a valid email address.
I just hope that Hell will have enough room for all these spammers.
Hell might have room for the spammers, but it couldn’t possibly have room for all the spam they sent out in the course of their careers that they should be forced to read and respond to, individually, no deletions allowed.
