Bad Luck to "Dating"
November 13, 2003
I'm used to receiving copious amounts of spam from American spammers. Pardon me if I sound like I'm being anti-American, but it's the names (Carly, Randy, etc) and the spelling (organize, center) that give it away. However today I received spam from an Irish website - a dating service with some dodgy looking web address that I'm not even going to publicise here. If I ever come across anyone who claims to be connected with this lowlife website I will allow myself to vent the full wrath of my anger. Spam costs business money. And it destroys the good reputation of some internet marketers.
Here's a good tip to make it a little bit more difficult for spam bots to harvest your email address from your website. Instead of using the character "@", use "ampersand, hash sign, 64, semi colon" and it will shield your email address from those lowlife scumbag spammers. I have to put that in words because if I just use symbols it gets converted to @ on the web anyway. Hope that makes sense!
