Sanford Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I've been wondering what the hell everyone has been complaining about with the SPAM, I get next to none...until today. About 20 from various airlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Parsons Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 If I can get a Time Machine, Wilbur and Orville are toast - along with Henry Ford. No airlines - no Airline Spam No cars - no road accidents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin McAmera Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) It's not really the airlines. They wouldn't want their reputations sullied with such squalid methods. These guys are organised crime, hoping someone will be dumb enough to phone one of their numbers and be talked into giving away their bank details for a hefty 'booking fee'. I'm trying hard not to blame India. I mean, nobody - *nobody* - could call me an imperialist, but this internet spam wouldn't have happened in Queen Victoria's time.

samstevens Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) The irony is that now we have both spam and several threads spawned by spam to discuss spam. The threads on how to deal with and report spam seem constructive. The threads like this on spam itself? How much better than actual spam are they? (Though at least there are no troublesome links to click or phone numbers to call.) 🤫 Edited February 8, 2023 by samstevens 1 "You talkin' to me?"

Sanford Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 I can't help but wonder what effect this has on sales of the original Hormel brand Spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
