Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam
I'd really like to thank Judy, Janet, Richard, Diane for contacting me to let me know she has been assigned as my account manager for a new account for something I've never even heard of. I know that I always trust e-mails from people who send me three e-mails under three different sender names but one e-mail address and tell me in the text that their name is Diane. Always a winning move.
Another winning move is to not describe your business model at all, but to tell me to either click on a website with the URL diane.moreinfoneeded.com or call a toll number in Texas.
I was, however, especially impressed though by the following disclaimer:
This e-mail is sent in compliance with our strict anti-abuse regulations. You have received this e-mail because you or someone using your computer has used an FFA List, Safe List or requested other information. If you do not wish to receive any mail from our servers you may permanently block your e-mail address by clicking on the following link. (Please be advised by blocking your e-mail you will not have access to over 900 domains and the thousands of users and services they represent)
If it weren't for the fact that I know clicking on unsubscribe will validate my e-mail address as being active, I think I could manage to live without having access to these unspecified "over 900 domains" associated with such a "reputable" company as this one.
I think I'll take the spam, egg, sausage, and spam, because that's not got much spam in it, thank you very much.

Ahhh ...
And here I thought Diane was promising ME the inside track on this opportunity.
Damn ... think I can get my $5,000 back?
