...because some people actually do click on their links.
Is there anyone around here that clicks on spam links either on forums or in their inbox?...

I do sometimes click on spam (if it makes it through the filter), just to see how bad it is.
But I never buy.
Even click on the dodgy phishing emails (don't do this unless your anit V is upto date, as they try to install nasties) just to see what questions they ask, they want full life history and pin numbers are people really that stupid?

On the subject of spams,
Just received an e-mail to tell me that I have won 1,000,000 euro's on the Suddeutsche Klassen Lotterie by my personal e-mail address being picked.
How cool is that....
Human nature says..give them a ring for christ sake.
Any one else had one of these or heard of this scam

Hi Ozzy
Didn't I see that on a TV advert for something or other......Thought it sounded familiar....
Could the originators of this spam be that stupid ?

My sincere apologies for the non-politically correct use of the word stupid..
Obviously I was speaking in the first person and not to the superior intellectual diversity contained within the sphere of this forum.
I stand corrected.. :roll:
