I 'spose we could call her and ask her for it/them...

Now there is an idea!

[Sender]

There should be an "OPT-IN/OPT-OUT" flag on an email inbox, that way if she puts a single spam in there while clearly marked OPT-OUT, the Spam Queen loses and gets fined. Actually my new ISP does a pretty good job of keeping out spam. I used to get 50-70 useless porn and scam messages a day at my old email address, it became unusable.

[arly]

I agree I would like to have her e mail address and forward every useless junk that they have send to me back at her X10 every day for about six straight months!

[polemikos]

AIEEEEEE! I'm blind!

The Face of Spam

[galt-jw]

Well, I hate spam. But this woman built a company on her own, with virtually no capital, in her home, with kids, and became a major player.

She could have been a welfare leech. Wonder how many jobs she created, too.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

I personally know of someone who got so pissed off at a lawyer in the United States (Florida) that he told the lawyer to expect a visitation from a couple of Colombians who don’t speak English. Problem solved...money returned with interest. This woman is also a parasite.

She could have been a welfare leech. Wonder how many jobs she created, too.

Now there is BS if ever I saw it. She could have been an ambulance chasing lawyer and you would be praising her by that logic.

Scum is scum is scum. This women is scum. She pesters us all with email account clogging junk mail. Fills our email boxes so we can't go out of town for two days without coming back to hundreds of junk emails. Then having to spend 20 minutes carefully sorting through it so we don't miss the email we want from a customer or other important business.

In the pecking order of low life scum it goes...
- Used Car Salesman
- Lawyers
- Spammers like this women.

[Old Professer]

Why on earth does that individual want to make my genitalia larger?

Do you get those, too? Do you suppose this a fad or something?

[Credo]

To hell with her phone number. I want her e-mail address!

Try these three.

She IS a leech. Instead of leeching off welfare she leeches off the bandwidth and server space of everyone she sends spam to.

Spam like this has resulted in my customers getting about 50MB of spam, every month. I pay for the bandwidth and the server space to hold and process this stuff.

[PsyOp]

Thanks! From now on, whenever I'm asked for an e-mail address I'm giving them hers!

November must be spam month in the news business. Here's my post from earlier today on the Spam KING:

"I'm just trying to make a living like everyone else," says Ms. Betterly. Her e-mail marketing operation, she says, allows her to raise her children, Chris, 10, and Craig, 11, and to spend quality time with them."

Maybe she can spend some of that money to get them quality plastic surgery if they look anything like her. Michael Jackson's surgeon could make a definite improvement.

This women must be very high on herself and her money to do this interview. To me she is like Saddam Husein in front of the TV camera with no idea how ugly her deeds make her look to everyone.

Judging by your name the spam is definatley misplaced going to your mailbox. I once a long, long time ago met a guy named BilltheWaringBlender buy may have only been dreaming.

Hey, have a look this I found on a google search.

BilltheWaringBlender buy may have only been dreaming.

oopps. "Buy" = "butt" errr, I mean but.

See how flustered you have me.

[PaulJ]

that telemarketer then tried to sell me--the estate attorney--the product. Crass.

He may be crass, but he's a good salesman.
