Here's yet another evil spam posted to my ISP's newsgroup. It's a kind of crossbreed, blending the "send e-mails to cure a disease" with e-cards. It's absolutely mind-boggling how low some companies will sink, isn't it? A ficticious girl dying from "Leukaemia" (does anybody spell it that way anymore?) needs zillions of e-mails in order to get cured, and gee...here are a dozen e-card companies lined up for your convenience. What a crock. You people oughta be mauled by wild monkeys.
