This is sort of a followup to my post "Spammers Beware". I recently found 4 or 5 users all called freevicodenonline or free{insert drug name here}online spamming on Mixx. This got me thinking. Spammers have been pushing drugs and perscription drugs and "cheap drugs" online through countless sources most notably the CH34P V14G4R4 emails I'm sure all of you have seen either in your inbox or your junk folder. These spammers have been doing this for so long it makes me wonder why they even bother anymore. Seriously, who has not seen one of these emails offering cheap drugs, fake rolexes, or hell knows what else? This shit has been so rampant for so long, you wonder how many people actually pay attention to or fall for them. They've been around for so long people should know by now that these emails are complete and utter crap and anyone with 1/10th of a brain can see right through it. Yet they continue to push their shit everywhere. E-Mails I can pretty much just ignore now as they find their way straight to the spam folder so I never really see them, but now these assholes seem to think that this time putting their shit on Mixx and social media sites will actually produce different results. I got news for them, no different results, no accomplishments, just wasting our time. Good Riddance Tags: socialmedia, spammers, mixx

Calinazaret on August 17, 2008 5:50am You have way too much faith in humanity. The truth is that you and I and most of the people we interact with on mixx are part of a small percentage of hyper-wired internet eletists, but a significant amount of people on the internet are complete morons. They get an email saying "Someone wants to meet you for dinner tonight" and they really believe it. For a long time I didn't think anyone could really be that stupid, but it's true; if you don't believe me go to myspace for some real-life examples. Bottom line-- spammers do it because it works. Why they do it on mixx is another question. Given that most people on mixx are part of the hyper-wired internet elite, I can't imagine how it's profitable at all for them to play their game there. *shrugs* | ||
