I love it !!!

very original :thumbsup

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

ROFL

Serves the twat right!

Yeah right.

yea, the bastards took my car

ROFL OWNED

Owned by AOL :1orglaugh

Reported on BBC News Online:

Seems the guy claims he was earning $1m+ from spam too, makes you wonder why he had a Boxter instead of a 911 :1orglaugh

As for the part about AOL's spam reporting, its almost worrying that any e-mail in an AOL users inbox is one radio button away from being reported as spam.. I wouldnt like to imagine the false-positive rate.

spammers do make good money.:glugglug

Some people don't like spending money on cars. A lot of people with fancy cars are living on the edge payment to payment while the guy driving a regular car has his money in the bank.

That is like opening a free for all to catch criminals. The main thing is, that greed will take over and people that are not even in the mailing business will get reported. And the way AOL runs the DC police, it will cause problems for someone that is not guilty.


I think that is the wrong way to handel things..
If they caught the guy without bribing the aol members, then they dont need to do this. It is just going to case trouble...


Just my :2 cents:

This is not going to work well for the legit double opt in companies that have a high percentage of AOL members in there databases.

"All hat and no cattle"

AOL has had a "report spam" button for the last couple years.

AOL has never "bribed" anyone to click it - it's just there.

As of now, I have heard of no abuse.



The sky isn't falling.

I like it, funny as hell.

i hate spam with apassion and think thats funny as fuck .. i hope someone out of state wins it or his mates might go after the winner lol .

HAHA, Thats great, great marketing

[list]

With great respect KRL there are the few that love cars and dont just buy them as an extention to their cocks.


:thumbsup

holy shit, they took pteams porsche? thats fucked up.

I think we should sieze all the AOL executives cars to auction them off for filling my mailbox with useless round plastic disks that harm the environment alot worse than any piece of electronic mail.

hahah thats a good idea. if he can drive a 2002 porsche I wonder how much $ he was ringing in yearly. Holy shit spammers must be rich. http://www.ezthemes.com/previews/P/PorscheBoxster2.jpg

They need to take down the spammer who sends random subject penis pill spams numerous times a day and give his car away with the only rule to enter being that you have never been stupid enough to order penis pills.:1orglaugh

anyone got a link to this article?

Doesn't K-man the spammer have a boxter?

Its not a boxter-s, its barney purple, and is a 97.

I think you can get the same car out of a vending machine nowadays...

But, coincidence?

hahha nice

yes i had a boxster... and it was arena red to be exact... sold everything when i left for paradise....

how's your tricked out 2003 ford taurus doing andrew?

Good idea! :thumbsup

Agreed.

boxsters aren't that expensive, if he was raking in over $1mill and he was a real car fanatic he would have had a 911

SOooooooooo owned ... people will use that feature much more after this . GREAT fucking idea.

That will be the only time in my life I'l say that :
Props to AOL

notorious AOL spammer: http://www.pteam.net/

Lately AOL keeps sending me AOLCDS in tin cans, I consider that worse than email spam :2 cents:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Eh, those taurus's are phat. =( Wish I had one.

Guess I'll have to stick with my
04 Grand Chero.

Was it taxes or the spamming?

Classic, report a spammer and get chance to win his porsche :1orglaugh

I find it a little bit strange that AOL should do anything against spammers considering I am still getting their useless software in my mailbox at least 6 times a year :2 cents:
