Spam..Spam...Spam...Spam...

I was cleaning out one of my email addresses and decided that it has now hit critical mass in regaurds to spam. So I decided to test all the automatic "take me off this list" links in them since my problem can't get much worse with that email address. So the first one I try is:
*************************
*SAVE* 75% on life insurance. Click this link now to get free instant quote!

to be taken off this list send to:
http://www.usalowestrates.com/automatic/first.asp

*************************

WEll guess what? 😀 I tried it and it didn't work

So I decided to hit the front page of the site that send spam. Check it out😀 http://www.usalowestrates.com

it's all a trick i tell you

sometimes they put in those "take me off your list" links in the email so that if people click on them, then the spammers know that the email account is active.

I know but this has gotten to the point that I'm willing to "risk" it. It is only a hotmail acct anyway.
