How many times do you receive emails winning free trips and free stuffs like ipod etc etc etc
I receive a tons ,zillions of them .
I always delete with no hesitations .....

how about you guys , have you ever won something through those emails or throu those sweepstakes (mcdonald,coca cola.......) a free ps2 or xbox etc etc ....

i never won anything lol hahahaha ..

well ,if you won something tell us what did you win ?

You have to enter to Win anything and That is one thing I DO NOT DO

All it will do for you is get you bazillions of e-mail.

My junk mail filter rocks.

oldmn · 10-25-2005, 11:17 PM

Thats the funny thing I do not use a filter. I get around 200 e-mails a month that for 3 accounts. If I am going to regester somthing Iuse my Hot Mail account Just Keep it cleaned out once in a while to keep it active.

I have never won anything, but my spam makes me feel inadequate. I obviously need the weight loss pills, the hari regrowth pills, the erectile medicine. I can't afford it but if I give $500 to some dude in africa, he will wire me a million.

hahahahaha ...i received those emails too ,that was back in 1999 , plenty of them .
it seems they were caught by Interpol and FBI ,they were called the nigeria connection .

my anatomy teacher ....

she really won a ipod ... and she didnt spend a dime

so some of them are really true

(she said her friend told her about it)

but it was the same concept as one of those junk mails

**Blitze105** · 10-27-2005, 06:37 PM

I have won a few ipods and trips myself... not to mention a few hundred viruses in my e mails. Gotta love being the lucky contestant to win a free worm for your PC! (Now if this is for a work computer and you don't happen to like the company, i see no shame/harm in letting it loose)

**Fox** · 10-27-2005, 06:43 PM

what sites like free ipods do is give out enough so that people get the idea in their heads that they can get one too... but in the end the sites always come out on top because they make you spam everywhere and join up all these stupid things.

**Spatcher** · 10-27-2005, 06:50 PM

Well that's why we (as in the TSF members) all have about a million or so e-mails. And one of those million or so is for spam so we can try to win something.'

On topic of e-mails, I had one that ONLY my family, and 2 or 3 friends knew. I NEVER gave it out, not even to forums. Then one day I get an e-mail about how I've won a year's supply of cough cough *enhancements* cough cough.

SO I immediately spammed it and made a new e-mail.

**Blitze105** · 10-27-2005, 06:59 PM

intersting, i just checked my hotmail account and i have this new message.

**Fox** · 10-27-2005, 07:02 PM

Haha what a joke

**Blitze105** · 10-27-2005, 07:09 PM

I found it to be very ironic...
