Stopping spam?
« on: April 11, 2013, 07:37:32 AM »
Sick of receiving the same owld shite from certain companies trying to seel me shite....ppi, life insurance and 'win a hoiday cruise'.
I click on 'unsubscribe' and then 'block email' but they merely send me tons more shite using a different e mail addy.

You stand a good chance of getting no email when they start applying thier rules - ever checked your junk mail folder?

You might be very surprised at what is put in there. It's far from perfect.

I usually reply with:

F**k off you black c**t. Get a proper job like white people do.
I hope you catch AIDS and die a slow death.

However, after having being contacted by 'a businessman/lawyer & doctor' I emailed him back with an alternative opportunity 'because I required a good upstanding member of the local community to help me in a start up business' after a few very hopefull emails returned to me I sent him the linky to McDonalds Jobs on Offer website.  whistle: Hopefully he is now gainfully employed.
