Have you ever received one of these funny/ funky/ smoochy/ pious emails that urge you to forward them to your friends?
Many forward them with previous distribution lists still inside. Even if you delete them, the person that sent one to you did so openly to all their contacts. It only takes one to do as told...
In some cases - e.g. collections of signatures in support of some worthy cause - you even have to place your name and email at the bottom of a long list that is then sent to Ban Ki Moon.
Well - imagine the return address is given as bankimoon@yahoo.com - and Bingo!

It will disappoint a few people, who champion what's in their opinion "worthy causes" and keep including me in their distribution lists to fight Logging, to save the Whales, or to make a sick boy's last days bright by getting him into Guinness records for the most emails received. But those well-meaning fools aid and abet the spam artists by providing them with ever more live targets.

[QUOTE="pixel, post: 663396, member: 33483"] Have you ever received one of these funny/ funky/ smoochy/ pious emails that urge you to forward them to your friends? Many forward them with previous distribution lists still inside. Even if you delete them, the person that sent one to you did so openly to all their contacts. It only takes one to do as told... In some cases - e.g. collections of signatures in support of some worthy cause - you even have to place your name and email at the bottom of a long list that is then sent to Ban Ki Moon. Well - imagine the return address is given as [EMAIL="bankimoon@yahoo.com"]bankimoon@yahoo.com[/EMAIL] - and Bingo! It will disappoint a few people, who champion what's in their opinion "worthy causes" and keep including me in their distribution lists to fight Logging, to save the Whales, or to make a sick boy's last days bright by getting him into Guinness records for the most emails received. But those well-meaning fools aid and abet the spam artists by providing them with ever more live targets. [/QUOTE]
