Has spam changed your life?














Some people generally define spam as any unsolicited email.  I admit I've called it by worse names... (probably shouldn't share them here.) 

 Some look so tempting...I've thought to have a peek, but no! Still I'm very curious and have a question for you. Don't be shy  ~

 Have you ever opened a spam mail and actually benefited from it? 

 You know you want to tell me, don't you?! (smile).

    I am very cautious when it comes to viruses, so no, I haven't.
    I have opened a can of Spam before. That I do regret.

    Now I love Spam, the canned variety. I never eat it because of it's calorific content, but it's something we learned to like (or dislike) during the war years. The email kind of Spam I don't touch.

      Amazingly it is still around, and in today's economy making a new emergence.

    I delete all spam. I'm too worried that opening one will give my computer a virus.

      Me too, and I'm thinking to give my current email realm. Go to Google, maybe.

    I always delete spam but sometimes it's very clever and, if one is not alert, it can accidentally be opened. Some kind of rogue email was sent to all of my contact addresses recently!
    But Spam always makes me smile if I think of Monty Python:

      Oh Bazza! I watched Monty Python's video on spam the other night. If this is the restaurant video, it's hilarious.

      Rogues are nasty!

      Thanks Yvonne.

      That spellcheck wouldn't let me put two t's in the word, 'benefitted.' Yikes!

    I sometimes get discount codes for shopping. I suppose that's a good thing.

    I don't think I ever benefited from unsolicited emails. Sometimes, I will open them just for a laugh and then I dash off to share my good fortune with DH before I break out in laughter. I keep thinking, if I've inherited all the said money I keep getting emails about then why not send me a certified letter? Did said party lose my address? I guess that's it. :D

      I know, Cathy, and lately there's a psychic named Chris, who claims he has a message for me. I'm hoping he gets mine - to go away (smile).

    Nope. I don't open spam, partially because I'm married to a techie. The three places people get computer viruses: spam, gambling sites, porn sites. All big no-no's if you want your computer healthy.
