I fell for this one: remember that thread I started before the forums went down, about playing a trick on a man who had sent me an email with his Curriculum, and people told me not to play any trick on him?
I didn’t play tricks, but I did send him an email telling him that I own no company and I couldn’t give him a job.
That was all they needed as comfirmation that my email account is active. Since the day I sent that email, I’ve been getting 4 times more spamming per day than before.
A friend of mine received the curriculum too, but he never answered. He’s getting only the regular day-to-day spam.
Kinda makes you wonder…
They abbused my good side, now if I ever get to track that email I’m gonna hang the spammer with his bowels! p:unch::
Originally posted by Ren I know, I just wanted to show how creative spammers are getting. And it’s the fiorst time in a while I see a scam that could actually have someone falling on its trick.
Yeah, sending stuff having to do with Anglo-American “patriotism” to a Brazillian. Brilliant demographic / geographic research, guys.
And if you do find that spammer and you hang him with his bowels, send me a picture.
Actually, no, don’t. You don’t want photographic evidence of your doing that laying around. Unfortunately, spammers are still categorized as human beings (and not the pests/vermin they really are) and hence creative execution of them is still probably illegal.
At least they have the decency to tell you that some e-mails that have a “click here to remove from our mailing list” are mostly shells designed to validate your account and forward more spam if they find out tha tit’s active.
