Why is it I still get junk faxes??? Ink cartridges and discount vacations...

Jumk faxes for INK CARTRIDGES??! That's kind of like throwing a brick through someone's window with a note attached that says, "Broken windows? Call ACME Glass, 555-4567"

I find it similarly amusing that I get spam for products that are supposed to eliminate spam.

wow ... new business opportunity ... LOL ... kinda like the Mob ... we'll beat you up unless you pay us the money not to beat you up ... and then, occasionally, we'll toss in a free beating to show you what you're paying to avoid ...

Somewhat off-topic, but once upon I time I saw a company selling security systems in one of those temporary "shops" in the walkways of a mall. The company was collecting names/addresses for follow-up sales calls.

Now, the evil, warped portion of my brain kicked in. I started thinking that this could be the world's greatest scam:

1. Collect addresses of people who don't have security systems
2. Have confederate rob house, knowing that there is no security system
3. Sell security system to people who have now recently been robbed
4. Wait a while until insurance replacements arrive
5. Use backdoor built into your system to rob them again
6. Flee the country before anyone figures out what happened
