Spam

[davidn]

I'm getting an increasing number of emails from people who have been conned in to using either hi5 or sms.ac. I don't know the full story behind them, but apparently even if you don't complete registration on the sites they send out an automatic email to everyone that you could possibly have some sort of link to, and some of those will register as well because the email appears to come from you, and the whole thing starts all over again. It seems that I've received one from everyone imaginable on my friends list now, but even so, if you get one of these, just delete it and make way for the herbal remedies spam that's currently fighting for first place in terms of volume of email in my inbox.

I'm soon going to present the results of last week's external testing to the department, and I've got ten minutes of sugar-coating time left.

I've gotten a total of zero hi5 links. I like to think I picked unfailure friends.

I've had a lot of them too. But I really don't see the point.

As you know I got one of them. Two in fact. I ignored the first one but the second (aka "reminder") said my family would be shot at dawn if I ignored it. It was a risk *I* was willing to take. But my family weren't...

Ugh, I get them all the damn time too. I could name the offenders here, but I will resist. You aren't one of them.
