Email Exchange of the Week

By now, many of you will be well aware of my hatred for all things MySpace-related. Here's a typical email exchange, illustrating just why I detest them...

Subject: you are downloaded stuff to my computer without my permission

i do not know why u r pop up on my screen but can u please tnot pop up

Sure, I can 'tnot pop up'. Suspecting another d04.net scam, since the email had come in via the d04.net account, I wrote back:

Hi,

D04.net does not download anything to anyone's computer. It is a simple web page. Please read about what d04.net is before emailing. Thanks.

http://www.d04.net/

What link did you click on to get to the website? What site did it link to? (should end in d04.net is it's on our service).

Of course, that didn't actually make the writer stop and think...

yes it does it putting nasty web sites on my comnputer thank i have alrwady report it to spam any way u do not know what u are talking about every time i trying to send someone a message a my space your web site po up why

Oh noes! I've been 'alrwady report to spam'! I write back again...

Please tell me what address is at the top of the page. Do you see a blue bar across the top with a 'Report This Site' button on it? If so, please click the button and I will know what site you are talking about.

Please don't tell me what my site does or doesn't do - I wrote it. If you are not willing to answer the questions I ask, I can't help you.

But no, I was WRONG! I obviously DON'T know what my own website does...

yes it does when i try to get on my space to send message to some one why do your web page come up u know i am going to report u to spam

Perhaps my web page comes up because.. I dunno.. you're not looking at MySpace anymore or something equally impossible? Honestly, I couldn't be bothered to write back after this because it was only going to go downhill from here. Sheesh!
