Below is the text of an ad that a spammer sent today.The nerve of thse jerks!
You've heard of spamming, right? It's that nasty word that makes
some people shudder. It is also the easiest, quickest way to make
a six figure income on the Internet. By far.
You've probably recieved quite a few email advertisements promoting
a variety of products. This is called spam. It will get you kicked
off your ISP, result in your website being shutdown, and make you
about $25,000 per month if you do it right.
I used to run a "normal" web business. I sold on ebay and submitted
my site to the search engines. I waited and waited for the hundreds
of orders that would fill my bank account with cash - but I was lucky
to get two orders per week. And that was a good week. Ouch! - was
losing money, so I had to make a change.
The change was bulk email (also known as spam). Using this form of
marketing, I now send half a million messages to potential customers
like you each week. Most of these people will never order anything,
and some folks win complain to my ISP or reply with a nasty email.
So what. If only one in every thousand places an order, and my profit
margin is $20.00 on each product, then I will make $10,000 this weekend.
Not bad for a few hours of work. With a little higher response rate,
I could make $20,000 or more. If I send out twice as many emails, I
could make upwards of $50,000.
$50, 000 in one weekend.
I've done it before. It's not hard at all. If you have a decent product
to sell, you will make this type of money with little effort once you
know a few basic techniques.
You are probably thinking to yourself "But I don't have any products
to sell. Heck-, I don't even own a business!"
No problem! Finding a product is a piece of cake. The first place to
start is with yourself - do you have any special knowledge or skills?
If so, write a short handbook or manual on the topic and start selling
it! Believe it or not, people will pay good money to learn your special
skill, or even gain some valuable insight. Information is the hottest
seller on the Internet - why else would anyone surf the "Information
Superhighway"?
If you own a business or have specialized knowledge in a certain field,
chances are high that other business owners could benefit from your
ideas and leam from your mistakes. Why not help them? Heck, I started
out just like you, looking for something to sell, and now I sell this
package, that teaches people like you how to get started Bulk Emailing,
information I picked up from my own experiences!! Start your own
lucrative consulting service by using bulk email to find prospective
clients. If you email half a million folks a week, surely some of them
will want to benefit from your expertise.
If you don't have any special skills and knowledge, it's still easy to
find something to sell. You can visit an online auction site and buy a
product with "resale rights", allowing you to resell it without paying
royalties. Or, you can sign up for an affiliate program and use bulk
email to sell someone else's product, while paying a small commission.
Don't worry, the Bulk Email Launchpad contains links to plenty of
affiliate programs and auction sites.
Anyone, and I repeat ANYONE, can find an awesome product to sell on the
Internet in just a few hours!! Regardless, I am going to include a
softwqare program and ad with your BULK EMAIL LAUNCHPAD that you can
begin selling immediately!!!
Bulk email is the premier way to market your new product, service, or
idea. You will reach hundreds of thousand, perhaps millions, of fellow
Internet users without paying any overhead costs. Say goodbye to
expensive banner ads, auction listing fees, and overpriced classified
ads - you'll pay NOTHING!
I have known amateur spammers who make a few thousand dollars a week
when first starting out. I have known professional spammers with a seven
figure income after just a few months of learning the ropes. I personally
average about $25,000 a week working two hours a day from my home.
You're probably thinking, "Okay, so why are you writing to me?'
Simple. I want to share my knowledge. I support bulk email when so many
others oppose it, and I dream of creating a LEGION of Internet spammers
who profit from this truly remarkable and unique method of advertising.
Plus, I want to make a buck. And I expect to sell a thousand of copies of
my Bulk Email Launchpad this Weekend!!
I have written this handbook specifically for people like you who don't
have a lot of specialized computer knowledge. You always knew the Internet
was a goldmine, but you never had the tools or the know-how to fmd the
gold. Well, this is your chance!
You will learn the proven techniques that I use every day to make a seven
figure income with bulk email. I will take your hand and walk you through
every aspect of the process, from selecting a product to sell, to downloading
the software programs you need and setting up your very first email campaign.

put together a huge list of customers specifically targeted for your products.

Why don't you forward that email (w/headers expanded) to [email protected] and ask that it be forwarded to Legal. Mention that it specifically says they are offering 1,000,000 eBay-derived addresses, so they won't have to read the whole thing to find out why you're asking it be forwarded.

It has been forwarded to safeharbor.I guess they can take it from there. I don'tparticularly like the idea of my address being sold to spammers, do you?

No big deal to me... I just DELETE unwanted eMail.... sometimes I will respond with REMOVE in the subject line. Sometimes, I actually read some of the stuff. *shrug*
