OT - Scam or For Real?
Hey guys,
I came across this advertised in my Gmail account. I clicked on it and checked it out. I just would like to know if there is someway to verify these
type of sites.

if it looks too good to be true - it is. Anything that hits your email unsolicted is just full of crap. They mail bomb millions of people, and then
get paid a tiny proportion of a cent in the dollar for anyone thats dumb enough to reply - either being interested or just to have a rant at being
spammed.
That makes your email address a target, and real...and so they then sell that list to the next one up the food chain, who send you more crap....
Its all about data-mining....the Chinese have turned it into a massive earner...
NEVER REPLY to a SPAMMER - It just makes you a better target....
now go to the site, but delete the /mail bit, just use the URL, watch how the DNS flicks to alternative addresses....then shows you something
else....data-mining spamming turds...but hey prove me wrong....buy one...and let us know...
