"New Spam Technique?"


          


Coroplast must be getting expensive for the spammers. There doesn't seem to be much around anymore. They are, however, employing a new means to litter the neighborhood: vinyl stickers.

I found one on a light pole, and sharked it.

The vinyl stickers (just like bumper stickers) are very difficult to remove totally. As you did, you can scratch out parts of them to make them useless to the spammer.

Froggie did the best he or she could, I'm sure.

Vinyl stickers might be the future of our fun. Any suggestions on how to execute complete removal?

Or, are we going to lower our sights and accept partial eyesores?

Perhaps the government has an answer.

This is almost certainly Herbaloss (oops - I mean Herbalife) spam. It's the same old message. Has anyone reported spam abuse to them? A year or so ago they were fining distributors who spammed.

Herbalife is still spamming in the far south Chicago suburbs and N.W. Indiana. I still get NEED CASH!!!??? signs regularly, not to mention all the hot pocket spam, loose 8-10 lbs per week, or We need 15 people looking for work. The new thing over here is dating spam. Its all over here. I got about 20 signs this week. I also was spotted by a spammer sharking one of his home repair cloroplast signs. i saw him drive up behind me and he wrote down my tag #. the next day he totally respammed. Well... I resharked. Its actually getting kind of fun getting spam now. As soon as I get about 50 signs we have a spam bon-fire! Its a grand ol time. Get a few friends, and a couple beers... Its fun!! OK... till next time
Good Luck out there!!
