What? 28 people trying to purchase 3.5 million dollars worth?
No. The response rate of .0000081 indicates a potential of 3.5m in sales, given that they will e-mail blast 350 million people at a time, several times a day, over the course of a year.
I understand, just trying to be funny.
It has to take a certain low level of something - common sense? IQ? discernment? intelligence? - to not be able to see through the scams in spam OR through the lies and bias of the mainstream media.
To me they both seem so blatantly obvious. It's scary that so many are not more discerning.
Well, given that his campaign technically qualified as spam itself, I'm going to say 1:1!
Hey when my money gets here from my new Nigerian friend, I’m going to have the biggest penis on the block! I wonder what’s taking that Nigerian guy so long about sending the money. He seems like such a nice man.
This isn’t true. Bill Gates told me so in an email that I forwarded to all my friends.
When I want a laugh, or am curious about a new pitch, my ISP’s mail server has a quarentine area where I can look at, but not access, the message...minus links & graphics.
Active firewall, anti-malware, anti-adware, anti virus, all with power-up updates; secondary removal tools; ISP filters and scans both incoming & outgoing email before I scan it coming in.
I consider myself “lucky” because I only get a hundred or so spams a week. About 0.5% are in the spam box by error, because a known sender is using a new address or some such.
Then again, in nearly 20 years of Web access, I strip addys off of forewards before re-sending & use BCC for everyone I’m sending to; I have never visited a chat room; don’t have Facebook, etc; don’t hit the porn sites...Okay, okay, once in a great while a strange picture pops up on a Google image search that I accidentaly click on because the cat jumps into my lap and jiggles my mouse hand.
All of that is beyond the Obamites, judging by what I get from the few I do know, compared to my Conseravtive correspondents. I quit sending one very dear old friend imagess, because, after 5 years of trying to remotely help her with the problem, all I still get back is, “I can’t see the picture. Please resend it.”
Before my ISP got “spamming” complaints from AOL about me, I used to hit the “reply all” button, and send them all the good news that Little Billy is now 30 years old, fully recovered, and does not want any more “get well” cards, complete with a link to the appropriate Snopes page.
I have a surefire, and , way to add extra inches and girth, and make my wife happy: get aroused, and watch it grow like magic! Never fails!
;-) Do you need a Nigerian to make that plan work?
My FRiend, you’re so bloodthirsty. I approve.
Evolution is something you have to MAKE happen.
lmao... so agreed ;)
