F-U_C_K SPAM!!!

Postby Guest » Wed Sep 10, 2003 9:41 pm

Dear Spamist or Spamette,

I despise your guts, including your spleen. I hate you and all the crap you
send me via e-mail. Here are several well supported reasons why:

a) I don't want to know what you do with your horse. I especially don't want to
see it.

b) I do not need to take pills to be turned on.

c) I do not see why I need to take 20 pills, creams, and gels to enjoy sex.

d) I do not want to enlarge my breasts.

e) My penis is big enough.

f) If you are really a multi-millionare from Uzbekistan who will pay me a
fourth of your income if I let you borrow my bank account, then why have you
attached a file called "Virex 2003: Search and Delete."

====================

Forward this to anyone who spams you, and soon it'll be all over the internet.

Communism loves you,
Nick, your friendly neighborhood elf Jedi

Is this guy upset because of a Joe-Job?

It might be time to include a warning on the front page saying that if a spam claims to be originating from SG, it's a fake.

I'm not affected by this, but I like you guys (and the "good") ;).

I seriously doupt this will get any better. I "see" loads of spammers with a *bg* on their face reading this (up to here *bg*).

Turn it around to your advantage while protecting yourself!
The Joe-Jobs always attract new users! Grab the good ones!: :D
  • Enforce reading more of the sg site a little by disabling info@sg...
    (Consider the ridiculous protection many commercial sites put up, avoiding any sensible customer service ;))
  • Extend Syskoll's idea to be a link to a page with VERY short descriptions on:
    - Why the sg address was placed into the spam (Joe-Job)
    - Why no info@sg is offered to public. (Add a Webform there instead?)
    - Not-ToDo's (reply to spam)
    - ToDo's (consider registering with sg)
  • Give reg'ed users a contact, if you think the forum is not enough all together.
... just ideas, ok?

Joe-jobs

Postby Guest » Fri Sep 12, 2003 5:04 pm

Well, if you are being Joe-jobbed, you are being successful!

Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to get better- but do take heart, if you've been noticed and are causing a reaction, it means you are having an effect - so well done!

I think the previous reply's suggestions are very good. A prominent notice on the front page explaining what to do if you think you have been spammed from spamgourmet should help - but it won't dry up the emails, more's the pity.

Please don't let it get to you.

It's just a sign of success. Enjoy the compliments.

I suppose we will eventually see the RICO law applied, since those engaging in such things are criminals and it's clearly a criminal conspiracy. Might take some idiot doing a joe job on a member of Congress first, though.
