FW: your arrest record

In case it wasn’t already clear, I hate spam. I mean I really, really hate spam. I honestly don’t get all that much spam in my “real” e-mail accounts, but when I do, it is irritating and it is even more irritating when I get more than one message promoting the same product or service.

This post is the result when more than one of these morons (or a single moron) sends me the same spam.

This particular spam is likely coming from an affiliate of a website called InstantCheckMate.com and is probably in violation of the company’s terms of service by spamming people who have not requested any information or had any other contact with the sender of the spam. They are also violating the “CAN SPAM” law, but my experience strongly suggests that the law is a paper tiger. I’ve found it virtually impossible to get the FTC or FCC to do anything at all about spammers. Our government in action. So what else is new?

Two of these spam messages are shown below – pathetic spelling included. I mean how stupid do you have to be to screw up the spelling of a single-sentence e-mail message that consists of 10 words. Whoever you are, you are an idiot.

As for the website that this a-hole is promoting, a little quick research suggests that they have had quite a few unhappy customers. Check out the following links to find out more:

http://www.ripoffreport.com/security-services/instant-checkmate/instant-checkmate-and-a-rude-bb2af.htm

http://www.ripoffreport.com/consumer-services/instant-checkmate-co/instant-checkmate-com-nothing-91f6f.htm

http://www.scambook.com/group/view/965/InstantCheckMate.com

http://www.complaintnow.com/InstantCheckmate-Complaints/complaint/business/Business_ID/display/151931

Let’s dig a little bit deeper into these spam messages. The following information may help InstantCheckMate.com or affiliate network identify affiliates that are violating their terms of service by spamming people.

The first message show below links to: http://wwww.bit.ly/IlUd1W and ultimately leads to: http://www.instantcheckmate.com/?src=c2m&mdm=network&cmp=2845&cnt=

The second message links to: http://wwwwwww.bitly.com/JuAE5Q and ultimately leads to: http://www.instantcheckmate.com/?src=c2m&mdm=network&cmp=2845&cnt=

The two URL’s that these spam links lead to contain what appears to be an identifier that indicates that the same spammer sent both of those message. Obviously, the spelling error is an indicator as well.

Whoever you are, I hope you enjoy your 15 seconds of fame, Ass Clown. (Yeah, I meant to type “15 seconds” since I’m not pretending that this site could possibly result in “15 minutes” of fame.)

Pharmacy Store : Viagra + Cialis !

I wonder if Viagra spam will ever end.

Yeah, and I really believe they’re selling a “USA PRODUCT QUALITY – 100% Guaranteed.” Anyone foolish enough to order of a Russian “pharmacy” website would probably be lucky to get sugar pills and probably more likely to get something far more harmful!

Dr.Maxman – Max Penis Enlarger Pills!

It’s been a while since I posted so what better way to break the silence than with the infamous Dr. Maxman! Yes. I’ve posted about it before, but this spam is so prolific that it deserves another mention.

Don’t forget folks, it’s REAL spam, from REAL spammers and it’s probably REAL crap that doesn’t work!

Hell, even if I wanted some I sure as hell wouldn’t be ordering it from some online store in Russia!

Hi

I’ve heard of e-mail and telephone scams where scam artists get in touch with elderly people and claim that they are their grandchild and are in jail or some other kind of trouble and they need money.

This one seems to be going out on a really long limb. Are they hoping this spam reaches a lot of people whose last name is Pierce? Other than that, I don’t get it. Who the hell is going to send money to some anonymous person they have never heard of based on a lame pretense like this? Can people really be that stupid?

Subject:    Hi

I really hope you get this on time. I didn’t tell you about my visit to Spain for a short vacation, but unfortunately i was robbed at the hotel where i lodged along with other folks.

My phone was also stolen and the hotel telephone lines were disconnected during the incident. So I have access to only emails.

Please I’m going to need some sort of loan from you for me to relocate to another hotel close to the embassy and also to get another flight ticket.

Those thieves made away with my credit card as well which is why this can’t be resolved instantly. I have been to the Police and they directed me to the embassy but they’re not helping issues at all and my flight leaves tomorrow,i will pay back as soon as i return.

Western Union transfer is the best option to send money to me. Let me know if you need my details (Full names location) to make the transfer.

Please, Let me know if you can help me out?

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Re:

Although it’s a rare sight in my in-box these days, penny stock spam does occasionally show up.

Penny stocks are for the truly experienced or for those who want to lose their money. Most people fall into the latter group and are advised to steer clear of penny stocks.

Gee, I hope my sharing this e-mail on this site isn’t going to let the big secret out regarding this amazing penny stock newsletter! I guess this person’s “close family members” are in danger of missing out on these wonderful penny stock “investments” now. My bad.

HOW TO TURN $12 INTO $4000 IN 7 DAYS ONLINE!

I think what a lot of people are sick of is the never-ending deluge of crap like this that is indeed the “usual stuff,” meaning it’s another money-making get-rich-quick scheme that is actually a money-making venture only for the idiots promoting this crap to unsuspecting people.

I guess it’s true that there are millions of new people coming onto the internet all the time. What else explains the continuation of crap like this? They surely wouldn’t be sending out if some people were not buying.

Hi,

If you’re sick of all these programs offering the same rehashed "promote affiliate link" methods that have been hovering around since 2005 then you should definitely take a look at this.

==> http://www.genesiscashsystem.com/?code=4ebc818121378

It shows you EXACTLY how an "average joe" makes over $4000 every week online WITHOUT all the "usual" stuff.

That means…

- No affiliate programs
- No promoting of any kind
- No selling of any kind
- No building or running websites

So yes…

This is super UNIQUE.

Here’s the link:

To your success,

Kudos!!

Normally I don’t take the time to post spam like those listed below because they’re pretty boring. However, since I’ve been getting so many of these lately and the idiots sending them out are obviously seeking some attention, I figured I’d give them some.

The links in these messages usually lead to a website that aims to convince people that they’ve won something. For example, one of them had a headline that said something like “You are the <insert my state of residence here> winner, hoping to give me the impression that I’m the only one in this entire state that has “won.”

The reality of it is that I have won nothing and the same thing goes for everyone else who has received this crap.

The goal of these spammers is to get you to enter some information like your e-mail address, zip code, address, etc. When people enter that information on the webpage, or complete the “offer” that’s often hidden behind these messages the sender of that spam gets paid. That’s because the company that’s behind whatever the webpage is promoting is willing to pay for that information or pay to get someone to complete an “offer.” It’s often considered a “lead” for the company – someone they can potentially sell something to. They pay the spammer for attracting people to the website and reward the spammer when someone follows through by entering in whatever information the website is fishing for. But, there’s a problem.

Without getting too deeply into the mechanics of how these businesses work, it’s strictly prohibited for participants in these programs – in this case the spammers – to send unsolicited e-mail, in other words, spam. The senders of the spam are in violation of the rules that govern how these types of offers are promoted. It’s not the fault of the companies behind these website who are seeking leads for their business, it’s these a-hole spammers that are violating the rules so they can make a quick buck.

The ethics of the companies that create these offers is, I suppose, a matter of personal judgment, but they do have the scent of deception since their claim that you have won something is completely bogus. What they are really doing is trying to bait you into some kind of “offer” which can involve things like applying for a credit card or buying something. You’ll see all the legal info that discloses the details of these “offers” at the bottom of the website page in tiny print that is probably printed using a color that closely matches the background of the page to make it as invisible as possible without crossing the line that will get the FTC after them.

My advice is to simply delete these spam messages (as most people probably do) and not put money in the pockets of these spammers who are breaking the rules by sending spam and annoying thousands – if not millions – of people with their crap.

Greeting from Andreaw Fraser

I must admit that I’ve never seen that name spelled “Andreaw.” How delightfully unique! And the fact that you do not seem able to make up your mind about whether your surname is “Fraser” or “Farser,” makes you all the more charming.

Ah yes, another sad tale of another barrister among the countless hoards of barristers who simply cannot find someone to give millions of dollars to. You would not think that would be a difficult task! But obviously this poor man is desperate since he has resorted to sending out thousands – if not millions – of e-mail messages in search of someone gullible enough to believe this rubbish.

Hey “Andreaw,” crawl back into whatever hole it was that you crawled out of and die will you? Trust me, the world would do just find with one less “barrister” taking up space.
