The Life of a Spammer
An anonymous reader writes "The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ran an interesting article today about the life of a "small time" spammer. It is interesting to note that even a religiously zealous grandmother can mire our inboxes with junk." That's Flo Fox, of Slidell, LA.
day 1: send emails
repeat
not that difficult, in my opinion
Innate respect for the elderly clashing with innate disgust for people selling me ways to naturally enlarge my cock! AAARGH!!! THE CONFUSION!
I'm amazing. You aren't. SUCK IT
"It is interesting to note that even a religiously zealous grandmother can mire our inboxes with junk."
The woman's age, grandmother status and religious strength aside, I'd still key her car if I ever saw it.
My home town is on slashdot!
Oh, great, it's about a spammer.
Crap.
I love Flo's t-shirt! WWJD? Ask if you need a bigger rod and staff, and yea, only He can granteth THAT miracle!
Jesus would prolly open up a can of whoop-ass when he finds out she's sending "XXX HOT LATIN TW1NKS XXX FOR FREE rqewgkjtqwertnb" to random 13 year olds. How about some divine retribution with a vulcan cannon?
Hate me!
I'm sure I speak for all of us when we'd rather hear about the End of a Life of a Spammer.

A little bit of spam?
My company's mail server was filled and not accepting new messages. I've not had too much problem with spam before (I use yahoo mail, mac Mail, and Thunderbird on the 'Mail PC') My settings are off on the PC, set to not delete messages fast enough.
I finally realized the rage that most /.ers display at spammers - I found mysellf wanting to personally kill each spammer.
The title of this article is "The Life of a Spammer" - If the anger I felt this weekend is similar to others, I'm thinking the title should be "The Very Short, and Very Painful Life of a Spammer After Being Beaten By Angry People Who Don't Need A Larger Penis, Like the Interest Rate They Currently Have, And Don't Need Another Copy of Norton SystemWorks."
I'd like to see some variation. I'd like to see a spam pope.
To be more accurate, I'd like to see a spam pope on a rope.
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
At my work, the IT section recently changed our domain, so all new e-mails coming into the old address, including spam, were both forwarded to the new address and sent an auto-reply informing them of the address change!
1. Spam. ...
2. Agree to a newspaper interview identifying you as a spammer.
3. Forget that your address and phone number is listed publicly.
7. PROFIT!
And you trust a spammer?
Spammer is only part of it. I don't trust anyone with all that Jesus crap hanging on the walls.
what else can I ask her?
Oh, I dunno. How about 'What would Jesus do?'
I have only this to say: WWJD? JWSTFU.

The media is based in New York. New Yorkers hate southerners. Anytime one gets in the news for any reason, they want to make them out to be as hateful as possible. Hence, out of all the spammers in the country, the found one in Louisiana, who is a religious nut (wearing a WWJD shirt, nonetheless), and paint her as a hopeless hick living in a shitty southern town. As a result, this is the average northerner's view of the south. Just be glad they didn't portray her as a KKK member.
This is absolutely correct, and you deserve the "Informative" moderation you got for exposing it. Just last week we got the memo from our Jewish media overlords in New York, sent to all media conspiracy field offices across the South. It said, and I quote,
This caused some problems for our agents at the Atlanta Journal Constitution, our local puppet news outfit, since of course most spam originates from the north of the Mason Dixon line, and the South offers a poor choice of spamming types at best. In fact all spammers to be found in the South are atheist carpetbagger Democrats who originally hail from the North. Luckily a shipment of creepy Jesus portraits and WWJD shirts to fit spammers of all sizes (S, M, L, and XL) was airlifted from Brooklyn and our staffers at the AJC got to work creating a backdrop of a heavily Jesusized trailer home. In fact, they used the same set that the government used to fake the moon landings. Naturally, Mrs. Fox, being a secular humanist and a spammer, has no convictions to uphold and was happy to oblige in aiding the Zionist media conspiracy in its mission of sliming the South in the eyes of Northerners, in return for money- which she promply donated to Dean's presidential campaign.
I wish you the best of luck in unearthing this vast conspiracy to make you look like hicks.
