SPAM!

I will bet most of you will receive this kind of email, eitheir

"pls forward this email to atleast 10 of your contact , or admin of hotmail will froze your account "
or
"Pls forward this email to other people, the hotmail will donate 1 cent for any email forwarded"
or
" Pls forward this email to your friend to show that you love them, if you dont forward the email back to me, i can only think as you dont love me..."

The first email, definitely is fake, as never heard of hotmail, facebook, frienster or wat ever admin of social network froze any account , i personally didnt forward any of this i receive and still dont get frozen....

The second email , is most probably fake, as if hotmail will donate the money, they will sent the mail in behave of the admin themselve, strange is, never heard of hotmail sending this kinf of staff, never heard of them sending email of appreciation showing how much money collected for the charity purpose....

The third email, is not necessary. You dont need to send email to others to show that you love them. Or precisely, you dont need other to sent email to you to show that they love you, it will be rather pathetic if you need that.....

First email use people's fear, the fear that your account mayb suspended, as people will sent it coz they know they dont loose a thing if the email is fake, but they will loose if the email is true...

Second email use people's simpathy, you wont loose a thing when you dont sent it, but you scared other loose something if the email is true and you dont sent it.....

Third email use people's lack of confidence in their relationship, you fear that your friend will think you dont love them when you dont sent the email, therefore you sent it, In other way, you are actually hoping other will sent it back......

Three of the email os actually junk, sending them is called Spamming. But no matter they know it or not, people still keep sending this kind of email, manipulate by the mastermind behind, act like a puppet..... Its kind of weird human behaviour.....

Another type of spam , is facebook application.
It usually sound like this, you taking a quiz, after finish, you want to get your result, but the application told you to invite 10 more people to join in order to get your result, which you spamming others for application they dont bother to look at. Such kind of promoting tactic is very successful, too successful that people would want to get rid of it but couldnt help themself doing it to others...

The different in facebook and email is, you can block the invite in facebook, but you cant block the invite from your friend on your contact list as someday they might send something important or meaningful.....

So, Pls stop the spamming after you read my blog...
