How To Profit From Telemarketing

Posted by timothy on from the please-kiss-this-man dept.

jsprat writes: "From the Seattle PI: A man gets an automated message from a telemarketer. He complains. Two weeks later, he gets a check and an apology! In the article, another man is mentioned who claims to have collected $2650 dollars over the last year for illegal spam, faxes and automated calls. Another weapon to fight these clowns?" What's your personal cash-won record?

  3. Microsoft sponsors Slashdot: the evidence, part 1 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Over the coming days, if Mozilla can stay up for long enough without crashing, Anonymous Coward will bring to you evidence of the Microsoft-backed conspiracy that is Slashdot.

    This first post just asks you to be observant, and pay close attention to the web site. In particular, consider the articles within the next fortnight, and the adverts.

    To whet your appetite, have you seen the Microsoft ad on Slashdot yet? Note the tracking information in the URL -- a click actually means profit from Microsoft to Slashdot.

    Do not be fooled. This is serious stuff.
