I hate you, spammers
By blog on May. 5, 2009.
Wow, my goodness. The spam I get these days. I never knew that a blogger had to spend so much time deleting spam. There is a Wiki page on it! I can’t believe this! I have been getting more and more spam in the last few months… It is honestly rather mind boggling to consider the amount of time wasted by people sending me spam.
Today for instance, I have received at least two spam emails, from people pretending to be wholesalers. And it is always either electronics wholesalers, or fashion wholesalers. Never anything else. I even get ones in which the sender’s name isn’t in English; as with one of the ones today the sender’s name was in Arabic. I am a little surprised my computer supports Arabic letters, as it doesn’t support Japanese or Chinese characters so a heck of a lot of Wiki pages have lots and lots of little question marks. And something else I notice about the spam I get in my inbox, not all of them are even addressed to me. No, some of them just have the first five letters of my email address right, the rest is all wrong, and yet I am still getting these piece of crap spam emails.
So today I jump on here to blog… 105 comments await me on one particular article… What the? I go and check them, and there are these huge wall o’ text of random gibberish, which is liberally peppered through with hyperlinked pharmaceutical names. My first question is what moron would actually think I am going to allow this crap to be published on my blog, and my second question is what other moron came up with the idea of it in the first place. I am fully aware of the fact that this is some upper-end moron paying another moron to post this crap as advertising, but I have to tell you, you are wasting your time upper-end moron, wasting your time.
Occasionally, when I notice the same email address repeatedly sending me spam, as with the ones I get which are pretending to be banks or PayPal asking to verify my logons via a specific link – yeah, you have a prayer, morons – I send them very nasty emails back. I tell them in very, very, nasty language to stop sending me spam. It works too. There are also authorities which you can pass this crap onto, who trace it, and threatening to do that in an email also usually works to get rid of the morons.
As a final note, to you spammers, phishing scammers, spamdexers, and general internet morons. I hate you. I cannot convey in the written word how loathing I am of you ‘people’. Stop wasting everyone’s time and just move on. Go troll on a World of Warcraft forum, you morons, and stay the hell away from my blog!
