Spambots.  Spam crawlers.  Etc.  Basically, dammed spammers search all web sites all over the web for e-mail addresses.  It found yours here.

I got that today too. Wouldn't it keep them out if you required registration before you could view another user's info? I'm not saying you should do that for sure though.
I Replied To The Spammer
Crisha Wenston,



Why have you spammed nearly every e-mail address listed on the dink.telefragged.com web page?  People who are very clearly not affiliated with any web site operations whatsoever have complained about this dismal mass-mailing.  As you may know, many people are getting huge settlements from illicit spammers!  Isn't that grand!  And you can even do it at home by just using your computer!  Wow!



Traffic BS... err... BBS seems to be a mass-spamming tool in itself, considering you will post a "message or ad to over 1,200,000+ message boards on the web."  Thats fricken amazing, that you could find 1.2 million message boards that allow people to post ads to them.  Wait a minute... isn't that just plain flooding?  And why would ANYBODY want to visit a message board full of ads?  Visiting the Traffic BS... err, sorry again, BBS web site reveals some disturbing facts.  Not only is the amount of message boards reduced ten-fold (so you only flood 120,000 instead of 1,200,000 boards), but you also offer the 'privilage' of submitting anything to 50k search engines!  Wow!



Nice facts about them search engines too.  Like how "over 85% web surfers use search engines."  Sure, but 99% of those 85% use either Google, Excite, Yahoo, or Altavista.  So why in the world would ANYBODY want to submit their site to 50k search engines when people only visit 4 of them?



Then more detail is put into the 'message board marketing' concept on the web site.  Sure, "these message boards are easily available, much direct, live, and instant to the general public, and they produce millions of page views every day," but that doesn't mean you can just post a damn ad on each one.  Unless, of course, you mean banner-ads... but that seems extremely unlikely.



In any case, don't send any spam to this e-mail address again, or any others anywhere on the dink.telefragged.com web site.
