Spam for Thrill – Chain Letters and Mails 2008-02-11 12:42:00 Some people spam for the sake of selling service or product, or to create awareness of something, while amazingly, some people do spamming for thrill. One common practise of such spam is through chain letters.What are chain letters? They are prank which are circulated around, demanding the receivers to duplicate and distribute to more people. Failure to spread the letters will be cursed.Chain
letters started long before emerging of the internet. During that time, it was very inconvenient to circulate the chain letters since the main media was through posting of letters, which required photocopying of the letter before you drop it into other people’s mailbox. Since chain letters used to be scarce, it seemed to be more mysterious and receivers were more frightened and had higher chance to Read more:Thrill

Spamming for Preys - Beware of Phone Scam! 2008-02-03 13:30:00 It has been long since scammers first use despicable methods to con money in board light. We see stories in newspapers and documentary programmes, but there are still people who fall for the scams.We cannot blame the victims for being gullible because the shameless tricksters are too cunning to use love as the ultimate weapon. The anxiety of parents and grandparents towards the younger generation simply drives them vulnerable.The most well-known trick is to call the house during working hours when only the elderly are around. The scammers will claim that the owner’s son or grandson is kidnapped, detained or injured, in order to ask for money. Sometimes, the group of scammers may provide some background groaning sounds to pretend that the “victim” is in pain. If the person who picks u Read more:Spamming

Spamming - You and Me 2008-01-23 13:17:00 Different people may have different definitions and tolerance of spam.Sometimes, spam and good intentioned advertising are just within a borderline; that is, by overdoing the latter may simply cross over.Each of us will eventually want to promote some items or events in part of our lives. Be it for good or selfish intention, there should be a limit.If you want to sell some items and you post bulletins in Friendster, MySpace or Facebook, and even email every friend, it is never an issue until you repeatedly do it.You do it once and we all see it, and we know it. If we want to get it, we will. But if we receive the same message over and over again, it certainly turns into a form of spam regardless of our relationship.Spam may not necessary be commercial related.With an extra thought before y Read more:Spamming

The Trustworthiness of Spam Advertisements 2008-01-05 18:31:00 There are various purposes of spamming. One of the most common spams is commercial spam, which the spammers try to get you to buy products.We consider commercial advertisements from sources which we did not subscribe from as spam.How do they get your information to send you spam through the media, such as email or cell phone?

Another method to get hold of your email address is to randomly generate characters or words as usernames and append the results to free email provi Read more:Advertisements
Spam and ADV Signs 2008-01-02 09:40:00 In some countries, governments have regulated that all advertising messages and emails have to include the texts “ADV” or “” at the front. “ADV” is the short form for “Advertisement”.The purpose is to allow innocent parties like us to differentiate between useful and nonsensical messages and emails that we receive, at the very first glance. For emails, we can even set filters and deliver those emails straight to the “bulk mail” or even “deleted” folder.Is the new laws for placing the “ADV” or “” signs (texts) effective? Have you been receiving less email spam than before?The fact is that most spammers are not law-abiding people. They have been spamming and yet nobody has done much to them; and why would they ever want to follow the new laws?If you have reali
What is spam? 2007-12-28 09:57:00 There is numerous definition of spam over the internet, which are somehow identical. Everyone has their own understanding of spam as well.To some people, spam is flooding of the internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who do not wish to receive it.

Email Spam: Kentucky Fried Chicken Hoax 2008-03-28 13:39:00 An active Internet hoax, of the urban legend type, falsely claims that KFC (KentuckyFriedChicken
) is using genetically engineered organisms instead of chickens. The hoax includes reference to an unspecified study of KFC done at the University of New Hampshire and there is no such research or study that was done here. When you read the message carefully you can see it has all the hallmarks of a hoax. It starts with a well known subject (KFC) and a timely topic (genetic modification of animals and plants) and then spins out a story that progresses from possible, to improbable, and finally to impossible. As an extra touch of false verisimilitude, there is the vague reference to a study at the University of New Hampshire!

Email Spam to Tarnish Reputation 2008-03-26 14:21:00 For as far as we know about email spam, they are usually sent directly from spammers to advertise for illegal product or services. However, there is another reason for spammers to strike - to tarnish reputation of a person or company.Since the motive of this email spam is not to sell any product or service, it becomes more of an "interesting" or "warning" news, which helpful internet users would usually help to circulate around without finding out the fact.Below is an example of an email spam to tarnish KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken)'s reputation.Horrible N Fact about KFCKFC has been a part of our American traditions for many years. Many people, day in and day out, eat at KFC religiously. Do they really know what they are eating? During a recent study of KFC done at the University of New Ham Read more:Email
