Hilarious - Platinum Bucks E-mail policy

Just got this in the mail:

Quote:
To comply with the new US Federal Law, CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 Marketing Extensions Inc. / Platinum Bucks will strictly enforce the following policy effective midnight, December 31, 2003.

We do not allow Webmasters to market websites under this program through the transmission of unsolicited bulk e-mails, therefore it is extremely important that any mass e-mailings by you conform to our policies. Moreover, you need to be aware of the fact that many service providers have their own standards and policies when it comes to mass mailings to their customers/members and you must comply with these policies as well: AOL Unsolicited Bulk E-mail Policy
I'm pretty sure people shit on PB for spamming not too long ago. In fact, I know there were quite a few big threads on here about it. So what happened to December 31st 2003, Dave?

What a joke.... like their "Zero Tolerance SPAM Policy". Whats even funnier is I got the same thing from Dollar Machine/Python who are ROKSO spammers and that make PlatinumBucks look like amateurs.

I have some suspicions that these guys are teamed up in their spam operations. Many of the PlatinumBucks spamvertised sites were hosted in adjacent netblocks of Teleglobe in Canada. Python spammers were in the same neighborhood. Teleglobe was a cesspool of spammers until Steve Linford of Spamhaus recently blocked all the Teleglobe corporate mail servers and they FINALLY started booting their longtime spammers.

The most recent PlatinumBucks spam received this week from protected affiliate "14476" was hosted and originated at Chinanet.

I wouldn't believe anything that Spammy_Dave(PB) or Spammy_Elvis(Python/dollar) said given their long record of lies and bullshit.... Anyone using either of these slimey sponsors is making a severe SPAM even worse.
