Spammers survive...

...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?...

 

[Deleted member 2816]

Nope not me.

[Deleted member 3454]

Me neither.

 

[Ozzy]

Err - nope

I'm going through deleting the spam from this forum right now !

 

[Misstique]

Definitely not... who wants more spam!

Ah! I know which forum this is now... didn't recognise it. Thought 'I don't remember posting in this forum!!!' :shock: :wink:

Yes its had a small tweak in the design here and there.

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?

 

[Ozzy]

Yep, afraid so

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

 

[Ozzy]

Yep, just pay the 500 quid "bank transfer fee" and the money is yours

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 ?

 

[Ozzy]

Stupid? Dont you mean aren't the people who fall for it that intellectually challenged

 

[BMS]

Ozzy

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:

 

[Ozzy]

:LOL:
