Alright! I am rich! No More Domaining!

[Spearseven]

:kickass:

All, I can't write long. I have to go get a picture taken!

What a week......This week I have received emails that we all wait patiently to get......The email that says I am a beneficiary to a long lost ancestor wanting to give me money. Today, I am $1.5M richer and all I have to do is send them a little bit of information. Yesterday, I inhereted $4M from an individual that died of a heart attack. I knew when I sent that email "send to all your friends and you will come into money" that I would strike it rich. Too bad noone else got the same email. I don't want to share my millions.

Take a look...I have the proof...read the email I received yourself...LOL!:lala:

""Attention My Dear Beneficiary ,

What pisses me off the most, despite the fact that these scam artists pollute my emails is that there are those that will actually overlook the jacked up formatting, misspelled words, improper english, etc. and fall for this crap.

I too hate these, I am seriously thinking that everyone who wants to sign up for a freebie email account or send email should have a valid passport.

It would certainly cut a lot of this crap out.

 

[VURG]

Congratulations on your new wealth!

Spend it wisely.

And what happens if they don't have a valid passport???

And what happens if they don't have a valid passport???

Then we see a whole lot more dsfseerhdfhsadfa.com domains being registered.

 

[mitch007]

I am richer than you. I got 7 of these in 3 days.

My point is not to punish anyone, but to properly enforce such people and lock them up when caught. And take away their ability to ever get near the internet again.

Right now someone can blast out thousands of these a week with absolutely no risk so they will, the rewards are far greater than honest work is.

Need to turn that paradigm on its head.

Sorry to hijack the thread here however, there will always be someone who cant pass authentication and thus the system is wrong. No doubt $1 .infos would be purchased in bulk to repeated the same thing all over again.

In the end spamm wont be stopped.

I am seriously thinking that everyone who wants to sign up for a freebie email account or send email should have a valid passport.

Nice theory but not practical in the real world. I didn't have a passport until I needed one at age 27. Not everyone is going to have one.

I honestly believe that the problem has gotten too big to deal with now, especially if my in-box is any indication.

Here's what I do now to avoid follow up spam if I only want a free download or report now, where my email always gets added to someone's mailing list: I use this site 10 Minute Mail

I get what I want and I don't get all the crap that follows.

 

[Sparhawke]

I honestly believe that the problem has gotten too big to deal with now, especially if my in-box is any indication.

Is that what the Spanish said when they set out to discover America? "Holy crap dude those waves are huge, lets turn back"

Or the Americans? "Bloody hell, someone get me off this ****ing rocket, I don't like heights!!"

:p

I know it is a big problem, but it is this refusal to deal with it that has made it into such a big problem. I am basically an elemental on this matter, there is just right and wrong. If you are dishonest then you go nowhere near it again ever again.

We could always demand that people use a webcam for anything over the internet and money transfers...if their picture was freely shared on a "name and shame" site they would soon start finding it a lot harder to operate.

I am just spitballing here, not really being all that serious.

 

[firefly]

I understand where you are coming from, I really do, but here's the thing. To stop spam entering into your mail box you would have to not sign up for anything; big mailing companies like awebber and alike are just the messenger who deliver shit to your inbox. Much like godaddy is not going to stop you from registering a tm domain, these companies are not going to care what crap gets sent out. Not when they are making a dollar off it.

The part I hate are fake disclaimers that say they won't share your information when, without a shadow of a doubt, they will.

Once you are listed, you are listed for life whether you like it or not. The disclaimers are usually fake as are the unsubscribe links in emails. I happen to know this is a common practice.

That's the area that they have to clean up and regulate.

Like with tm names as I mentioned earlier, no-one will want to step in and do something about it while there is still money to be had.

One of the worst career choices in the world must be as an admiral in the nigerian navy, because several widows of admirals have emailed me over the years, needing help to retrieve their dead husband's funds and transfer them to my account in the U.S. of A.

 

[Spearseven]

I have also noticed that it is always overseas in some little know "nook" of the world. Most folks will see these emails for what they are: Garbage. What I fear is some poor elderly couple, young family, etc. falling victim to this. Really awesome to see the discussion going on about it though!
