Every day I have to check my Spam folder. It always has something in it and it is usually Spam. Unfortunately every now and then a genuine message gets caught up in there so you have to check.
I’ve looked at these messages. Some are trying to promote a product, some are trying to sell you a service that will instantly transform your blog and most of it is gobble-de-gook.
You have to ask yourself –
a. Do any of those idiots advertising products think you might just buy something off them?
b. If you wanted a service to upgrade your website you would pick one out of the Spam filter?
c. Who enjoys putting chunks of meaningless sentences together to send out to random sites?
Now either I’m simple and naive and there is a sinister motive behind this spam or there are a lot of very daft people out there who are intent on wasting my time. Probably both of those.
So why are they doing it? What is their motive? Are they merely bored mischief makers.
They’re cyber hooligans, anti-social pests. I get 2 every day wanted to proceed with my imaginary PPI refunds. I never open any of that junk and block them immediately. But they keep coming.
They drive me mad!
