Spammers beware…I spam back!
Well, it’s been a few days…I’m better now…able to sit and write again. I got a good chuckle this morning. A few guys I know on another site are getting spammed by a woman who sends the same letter to everyone. I told them sorry guys, I feel for you, but its about time the men got a taste of what women get in our emails all the darn time.
Then we all started talking more about this “woman” and figured out she is not just on our site, she is all over the internet. Google her name, and you can find the many different sites she belongs to, spamming the same letter, over and over. She even has ads on Craigslist. She say’s the same thing every time :

Hello!
I am a lady of 23, I found you profil here at (www.roverradio.com) and picked interest in you.
My name is RITA.I wish to be in love relationship with you
and may be discover ourselves as real partners for life
pls send your e- mail to my address (rita_baby1985@yahoo.com)
so that i will send my picture to you What has come over people that they feel the need to spam so ridiculously? Is it a game? Are there others involved, with someone keeping track of just how many people they email with their junk?
This particular spammer reminds me of the Nigerian scams. I think most of us at some point got their emails. The ones that begged you to change money over for them, that due to their government, they couldn’t access their money and needed our help.
Then there is the Craigslist spammer. He sends out ads for a large bird, sometimes an African Grey, sometimes a Blue and Gold Macaw. He tells you he will sell you the bird for free, as long as you send the money for shipping first. Right, let me jump right on that one.
Most people who are on the internet regularly are not only too smart for these spammers, but we let others know to watch for them also. It’s the newbies online that are caught in this scam. They and the naive of course. Then again, if you read an email, and there is any mention of money, love, marriage, sex, travel, etc..from someone you don’t know, and you choose to respond, you deserve what you get.
Sometimes ignorance is NOT bliss, and this is one of them. If you have to pause and actually think about the contents of an email, close it and delete. Or do what I do to people who send me their spam mails..I sign them up for the raunchiest free porn site I can find. An eye for an eye, or in this case, a spam for a spam!
