Subject: Another way to deal with spam

Written By: Dude111 on 08/27/22 at 5:20 pm

This guy has way too much time on his hands I think,but replying to the spam you receive,might be another way to deal with it I guess...

The spam letters

I dont have the time for such silliness,I usually just delete it w/o looking at it.......

I would NEVER reply to any of it. That might worsen the problem in more ways than one.

Do not reply, it only confirms you email address is real.

It is the same for answering your phone to a scammer.

Spam can go anywhere bacon would be. Try mixing up your usual bacon, egg and cheese and bring Spam to the stack instead. The luncheon meat is best served pan-fried, but if you're crunched for time, a simple slice straight from the can will do.
