Now that my email inbox has been stuffed full beyond my ability to maintain it, spammers are now finding new ways to get to me.
Now they’re sending letters to my home! Via the US Postal Service! Letters marked, “Urgent”, or “You’ve been pre-approved”, or with fake-handwriting on the envelope – the lack of a stamp always gives those ones away. And I really hate the ones that try to pretend they’re from some government agency.
And others call me up on the phone! So I have to get up, as if it was a real person calling me, when it’s just some company trying to get my money. Oh, some are really blatant, let me tell you. But those are nowhere nearly as annoying as the ones that try to pretend they’re not selling anything. “Oh, we’re doing a survey,” or, “We’re from such-and-such charity.”
What are they going to think of next? Interrupting television programs with their “important information”? Painting messages in the sky?
Gaaaahhhhh. There ought to be a law.
