Why read it once?

Look, in my email inbox! It's crap, it's a scam. No, it's SPAM!!
Multi Level Marketing, my ass! This is internet annoyance and illegal.

Yet another nimrod and his little scam for economic freedom. Odd, how
do you make money from jail? This one contains helpful hints to try
and guarantee you make that $50,000 in 90 days. Yeah right!

He recommends getting a PO Box, and remember, PO Boxes are an easy
to use tool of the spammer. I'm not saying all those folks who use
PO Boxes are running a scam, but this dork is basically telling you
to use a PO Box.

Let's not forget, since the delivery method is to a PO Box, that
means US Mail is the transport of ill-gotten gains, hence the
Post Master General is now aware of this too. Plus, this scammer
is telling you of 5 places to get your hands on such illegal
material. I think I'll bill each of them $150.

I've seen this before. This is an MLM scam where you BUY books or literature
on how to run your own MLM scam. You know, so far I've been understanding of
PSI being taken advantage by spamers, but it's becoming readily apparent that
they aren't doing anything about it. I'm now forced to inform MCI about this
activity. I'm really tired of it. The addresses of the 5 scammers are being
forwarded to the Postmaster offices.

On top of that, crappy HTML. What you see on the spam above is pretty much how
it looked. Don't look at the source code here as I marked it up heavily so it
would appear properly in your browser.

I've seen this before. This is the MLM of selling MLM scam literature. I think
I need to sepparate this one out into it's own page.

Of course, this was sent via the IEMMC removal filter, so it's quite obvious that
IEMMC lied to me about removing my name from their lists. This spam will be
cross-referenced on the IEMMC page

I must admit I didn't read this spam. I also didn't do the math. I figure if
I'm stupid enough to follow this spam's advice, I'd have plenty of time in
a federal prison to do the math with my fingers and toes.

What web site? This spammer is spamming to get you to spam.
