Cranky cranky cranky CRANKEEEEEE~
Apr. 30th, 2004 04:20 pmI rarely give out my Singnet address (almost never, actually), so imagine my annoyance when I started receiving spam from assholes using email accounts their ISP gave. To spam with free email providers is nothing unusual. To spam using the email account tied up to your ISP (which allows me to HUNT YOU DOWN) is like RUBBING THE FACT THAT YOU!SPAM!NYAH!!! IN MY FACE.
And then, someone had the gall to attach the following message as a signature.
"This unsolicited e-mail is for information purposes only, following a request for removal.= It is sent in accordance with the Information Exchange Promotion Protect= ion and Privacy Act sect. 50, marked as "Advertisement" and containing a = valid remove instruction below.
Should you not wish to receive information from us in the future, = please click remove to be properly removed.. Even though our database cleansing might = be subject to delay or error, we will remove your e-mail address perm= anently from our database.
Anti-SPAM Policy Disclaimer: Under= Bill s.1618 Title III passed by the 105th U. S. Congress, mail cannot be conside= red spam as long as we include contact information and a remove link for remo= val from this mailing list. If this e-mail is unsolicited, please accept our = apologies."
Guess what would happen if I actually clicked on the remove link? More spam? ATTA MY BOY!
And that was an email sent out to ask if anyone had a truck to sell. Hello? DO I LOOK LIKE A FUCKING CAR DEALER?! Wanted to email back that this wasn't exactly the states, but I thought I should check out Singapore's anti-spam laws first.
WHAT. THE. FUCK.
I'm getting off this island.
PS: Information Exchange Promotion Protection and Privacy Act sect. 50, my ass. You're a sender in Singapore, sending SPAM to someone in SINGAPORE. So if you think the Information Exchange Promotion Protection and Privacy Act sect. 50 will cover your fucking ass, how about asking the Singapore Legal System to apply Amercian Laws when you are found to have more than 15g of heroin on you in Singapore. Fuckers.
*EDITED
Okay. Maybe I didn't put it clearly. My fault. But the ISP involved? They were local ISPs. (Which just pisses me even more. But I digress. So. Yea.)
