Is everyone getting that annoying spam for remote control racecars? I’ve received 4 spam emails today pushing these. What a weird thing to spam! How do spammers make money anyway? Is a % of sales or amount of spam and click throughs? The sheer volume of spam they send it must be from the amount of emails they send. I have filters and trash email accounts so most go straight to the trash but these damn remote control racecars keep sneaking in!
:angry:

MailWasher is doing a good job of getting rid of them but it seems like their spam software is ignoring the bounces. Oh well. :rolleyes:

Apparently, or so I'm told, this is the "hot" toy this year for Christmas and some people have told me that they are impossible to find in the stores.

Yes, I've gotten a billion of these as well. Just what I needed after having my bowels cleaned (another spam that seems to come through too often). I'd buy one of these race cars except I just gave all my money to a nice sounding Nigerian fellow who has promised to move millions of dollars into my account. He might need his bowels cleaned as well.

*lol* @ Chicken

Yep, been getting these little car spams as well. Saw an ad on TV for them, and have to admit they look pretty cool. If it wasn't for all the junkmail I might buy one. Oh well.

They are cool, I picked up a pair of motorcycles from ebay (same concept, but I wanted the motorcycles instead). Roseanne and I love racing them.

As far as race car spam :smash: (we really need a :spit: emoticon)

What a coincidence, I just reported the car spam before coming here. :eek:
