As some of you may have guessed from other threads, the station has been receiving a large amount of spam lately, thanks to some increased traffic as of late. It would be easy for us to let the spammers get to us and have us pulling out our own hair from the frustration, but instead we're going to have a little fun with them, at their expense of course.

Today I received an email telling me about this great college program:

Quote

1-***-230-1849

University Degree

Get University Degree within weeks without stress, exams, and long years of studying.

Confidentiality Assured

1-***-230-1849

24 hours a day, 7 days a week including Sundays and Holidays


Since I was really interested in getting a great deal on an education that would allow me to write so eloquently that I could put together the phrase "Get University Degree", I gave them a ring in hopes that I would reach someone who could help give me more details on the program.

Sadly, however, no one was available to take my call, and I just received a recording prompting me to leave my name and number so that they could reach me back "in 3 to 5 business days". (This is, by the way, a great new spin on 24/7 service.) I politely left them a phone number to reach me at (one that I purchased pretty cheaply just so that I wouldn't have to give out my real number), and let them know how genuinely interested I was in their program.

And, when they call back, I'm going to have my system all setup and ready to record our conversation so that I can pass on the great details to everyone here. I think it's going to be... fun :)

More importantly, though, the follow up with some of these spammers and religious fanatics we've had has inspired us at the station to start a new little project that we're certain many of you should enjoy a great deal.

If you have spam that just won't go away, and want to give us someone to call or email, send it our way and we'll see just what we can do. To participate, just post your spam as a reply to this thread, making sure to include the senders email address (if available) and the subject of the message. We'll be taking a special interest in the best of the spam we see here, and we'll be sure to share the results with you ;)

Well, Sanctuary warned me not to start replying to people... but I was silly and didn't listen. As a result, one of our friendly spammers has stumbled upon our old banner exchange and submitted a banner for approval that links here:

http://pies.tlg.pl/

Now, *do not* click that in Internet Explorer. I can't be certain it has spyware, but I'm going to assume it does, purely based on what I see in Firefox. For those of you with Firefox, or Opera, or any other browser available to you, head to that link, just to see what I'm looking at.

If there ever was a site that was the polar opposite of our dark theme here... I think that pies.tlg.pl would have to be it...

What kinda computer geek are you anyway - cardinal rule - never reply back. LOL :P

I did try to save you. I did. LOL Don't ever say I don't care. ;)

Did that "university" place call back yet - I'm thinking no.

Oh--- pretty puppies. You sure it's a bad site? Puppies are great. ALL HAIL puppies and kitties!!!

I've had no luck in getting my 'University Degree' as of yet, but I'm still trying. Today I left a few more messages on our friends' voicemail, with different accents and phone numbers. We'll see if we get lucky on any of them.

And puppies and kitties are definitely good :) But... I don't quite trust the ones on that site... I think they might be posessed by some of the demons that are occupying our 'Bob' thread.

Okay now wheres the one where he actually called back and tried to apologize LOL

I *almost* felt really bad for the guy. Almost. Though - that was pretty (okay very) mild compared to what we could have done. :D ;)

But Atnevon - you done a good thing.

Crazy as it sounds, believe it or not, we received a callback from our friend a few minutes later. I didn't hit the record button quite quick enough to catch the beginning of the call this time around, as he caught me by surprise, but I got the immediate impression he accidentally dialed the same number twice in a row by mistake. Here's the follow up call:
