Die Spammer DieThis is an actual ICQ exchange, brought to you by my bad mood. (ie. Why you should not mess with Catherine when she's in a foul mood.)
Shayna(19:27 PM) :
Hi there. Are you interested in cost-effective promotion for your business, then \/isit my home pag' (find L|NK in my [|]nfo area)..
Sailor Coruscant(19:33 PM) :
Thank you for sending you L|NK to me. Now, please allow me to report you to ICQ SP@M Management, so that your account and all other accounts using your method of spam will subsequently be banned by the server. Now die!
Sailor Coruscant(19:35 PM) :
What? No snappy comeback?
Now, at this point, I should mention that the "L|NK" in Shayna's "[I]nfo area" to her "home pag" was directed at a site that "would like to offer you the opportunity to advertise to hundreds of thousands, even millions of people on the Internet! Our promotions are more cost-effective than banner advertising on well known search engines, which cost thousands of dollars per day." How do they do this, you ask? By their unique method of "Advertising by E-Mail and through the ICQ Network"!
Yup folks, you heard right. This is spam, advertising spam.
And this is why I have lost all faith in humanity.
