Think about it for a minute. Advertising effectiveness is measured in cost per thousand. To send this message to 100,000 people via a spam merchant through email would cost $500.00. He just sent the same message to 25,000,000 people for .40 cents. And so far he has gone undetected for 2 days. If he can squeeze out the full 10 days without getting shut down, he will have put out a message that would have cost $50,000 to do via email. He should realize enough of a profit to buy a dictionary so he can get the spelling right in his next scam.


The light at the end of the tunnel will turn out to be an oncoming train.

Featured & Featured Plus! Auction

A little more than 40 cents. I was looking on the ebay home page and the featured items there and selected the all featured items... link and there it was.

If ebay closes the auction, they will refund the listing fee.

Somebody should snipe it if it makes it to the end. Then he would have a nice FVF.

His big secret is send an email to a million people telling them they can make $55,000 just like you have. Now don't go sending him five bucks.

He won't have to pay a FVF if the buyer doesn't pay.
