Jeesie Creesie! Will it ever end?

The spam/junk mail deal, that is. Would you believe that along with a message via email from one of my other blog sites(along the lines of Yahoo 360! Live Journal, Facebook and Myspace) someone was inviting me to be their "friend" but...it wasn't an actual invite from someone interested in being my "friend" because of the funny/insightful things I write, post, etc...

It was actually junk mail.

Or spam as this is via the internet.

I am serious! It was from someone under the guise of looking for another "cyberfriend" who was out there in cyberspace and happened to have landed in my planetary cyber atmosphere looking to push their products("Want a $3000 gift card from The Olive Garden? Then complete this survey," "Need Viagra?" etc. ....)

.....Or services.

One of my other personal sites gets only invites from female "friends" that want to be more than friends with me(along the lines of "Hey. Saw your profile, you look like fun; I am a single, blond female from Macedonia looking to have a good time," etc....). I mean, really; she obviously didn't look at my profile unless something about me just SCREAMS "Lesbian!" Really, do people really respond to these ads and messages and to do they actually end up having a good time or does it end up along the lines of that movie "After Hours?/?" I've checked them out to see what their profiles are all about and they all say the same thing, basically. They also seem to be the same person in all of 'em.

Weird.

For services, their looking for a good time. Well, hells bells who isn't looking for a good time? For products, I almost always must complete some sort of survey that takes about 45 minutes to complete and I have to use my credit card to obtain at least two of the items/services(no, it's not the "good time seeker" services). Yes, I know. Why bother even looking it up, right? Can't help myself. I'm curious.
Yes, I know what happened to the cat in regard to curiosity.

I am so glad I'm able to block those messages....too bad it doesn't prevent others from sending the same information.
