I have a couple of “free” email accounts, and for a long time I rarely got junk emails. If I do, they usually go into a “bulk” folder, where I automatically delete them when they show up.
Lately, though, I’ve been getting those “You too can enlarge your penis!” emails in the bulk folder! And not just one or two–three or four, several times a week! Strangely enough, they never offer to send me the initial penis to enlarge. LMAO!
Rats, it must have been some “survey” thingy I filled out on some website. I try to avoid those at all costs, but sometimes in order to get to the page I want to see, they ask for “basic” info. I know I always check the female box, though! Don’t those spammers realize that I’m female, with no penis to enlarge?! LOL
Hand those ads over RIGHT NOW. And perhaps I shall be kind enough in the future to let you touch my 500-foot spiked cock of d00m0rz when it comes in the mail.
(Damn, my first thread is already gone after 4 days? I went out like a punk.)
I get those emails just about everyday, they are getting on my nerves. :mad:
I also keep getting the one that says how to please your woman…:eek: And i dont want to see that one either, so yesterday i opened it to see if it had a unsubscribe link and as soon as you open it it activates an htm virus :smack: , thankfully my anti-virus caught it. So i would like to say to everyone here to just delete without opening it…
I’ll trade you your penis enlargement spam for my breast enlargement spam. Round, full breasts are nice in principle, but I think they’d look kinda funny on my male frame.
Poorly paraphrased, because I don’t know where I can find the actual quote:
“I get spam for four things, 1. Viagra 2. pornography 3. personal member enlargement, and 4. low-interest mortgages. Do any of these actually make the spammers money? Presumably, there is a town called Spamville where all the men consume massive amounts of Viagra and pornography to the point where they knock holes in the walls of their houses with their enlarged personal members, then purchase new houses with low-interest mortgages.”
-Dave Barry
I know a spammer and the reason they don’t use any discretion is that there isn’t any real economic cost to blasting out to everyone, but there is a cost to spending the time to see if the target of the mail is a valid one.
Think of it this way: in direct mail, you have the cost of postage, print production and creative expense, so you try to minimize the waste by trying to make sure your penis enlargement target actually has a penis upon which it could used; this is often done by using data analysis to try to target only those people who might have a use, e.g., Mr. or Mrs. Smallpenis.
In e-mail, you have none of those production costs and spammers don’t need to target using analysis. In fact it would actually add to their costs in the short run. Since they have no per unit cost, it is just as easy to send 10 e-mails as 10,000,000 (granted they have some economies of scale to have enough software, server and bandwidth capacity to send a large batch, but once that is in place, hey send all you want).
Until there is some economic or legal constraint, they have no reason to try to stop annoying single women with the urgently needed appeals for penis enlargement.
Um, maybe I’m wrong here…might single women actually have a need for such a device? When you go on a first date, do you carry a tape measure?
Don’t follow the “unsubscribe” directions; that only tells the spammers that they have a valid E-mail address to send more spam to, and that you actually read the spam.
I’ve always been mystified by spam. Do they actually get business that way? I’d rather rip off my own toenails than do business with somebody who contacts me that way.
At the same time, I can’t see making it illegal (although it’s against the rules of most e-mail services, so when I get those I try to get the person’s account shut down). Still, it should definitely be illegal to have an “Unsubscribe” feature that doesn’t unsubscribe – somebody should be locked in a cell for that one.
Okay, how come everyone else gets these except me? I have never received one single penis enlargement ad, breast augmentation ad, low mortgage ad… even the Nigerian spam people are ignoring me. Look, is it something I did?
I feel so alone…
My boyfriend, on the other hand, has received five breast enlargement ads within the past two weeks.
I have very rarely got any kind of spam. But in the last week I have started getting several ads a day. They are of two types. One is for “low cost” insurance. The other is for some kind of video that is supposed to show Jennifer Lopez performing some kind of sex acts. Now I am not interest in either of these, so I delete them. I tried sending a reply that says I will sue them if they send me any more spam, but all I get back is a “Delivery Failure” notice.
