u r stupid if paying too much for softwares concordant shabbily
I generally delete spam without even bothering to look at it, but this one was un-ignorable.
This memorable piece of advice arrived in my inbox from a helpful entrepreneur selling software. the rest of the spam was a babelfished ad for selling MS software cheap. How can they afford to do so you might ask? Well, they tell you:
Why So Cheap???? It's because all the software is OEM - Meaning that you don't get the box and the manual with your software (this has made we can sell the software at low price without spending on the eye-catching box & printing the manual). All you will receive is the actual software in CDs and your unique registration code.
Of course, that explains it. I would be skeptical except for that excellent advice in the subject line, that convinced me they must be legit. Sadly, before I could give them my credit card numbers, and bank accounts, I accidentally deleted the email.
Maybe I'll get lucky and they will spam the comments section of this entry so I can get the info again (I generally delete spam comments, but in this case I might leave them up).
What a bunch of wankers.
