Coral Calcium..the latest health fad

Brooke · 04-11-2003, 06:47 PM

I got this disturbing e-mail today:

Try your FREE SAMPLE of Coral Calcium "Supreme Plus" today. 100% pure high grade marine coral from Okinawa, Japan. Plus receive a FREE Robert Barefoot audio cassette explaining the best methods to maximize this proven natural health solution.

Uh-oh

let's hope they aren't harvesting healthy corals for this.

I've received the same junk emails myself. I'm just wondering if this is the latest snake-oil cure all.

fyi. DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT.. and i mean DO NOT unsubscribe from junk mail you receive!!!!!

do not send nasty emails back saying remove my email address. if there is a link saying "click here to be removed" .etc DO NOT DO IT!!!!!!

when you unsubscribe, cancel, complain or whatever, you have jsut CONFIRMED to the emailer that they have in fact reached a VALID EMAIL ADDRESS.

they will then remove you from "that" list. only to add you to another 50 they have. in addition, there is big money in email harvesting. ie" folks who confirm email addresses, compile them, and sell them.

not only are you causing yourself to get even more junkmail, but the person sending it to you is now making money off your inconvenience.

trust me. it's far worse to do it.

i learned the hard way 5 years ago. i wish it would someday become illegal.. wanna know why? i currently have 9,265 UNREAD email messages in my inbox....FROM THIS WEEK ALONE! and there are still two days left! i receive an average of 15,000 emails a week, and over 12,000 of those are pure unwanted spam. (granted i have email accounts for all of my websites, which caused my unwanted mail to grow exponetially)

LOL! I get a few of these junk emails a week. Send em to SpamCop.net every time, which BTW is a great service for reporting junk email. They'll also filter your email if you pay them.

Sheeesh, Jay, and I thought my spam mail was bad; I'm not even close!

Coral calcium, hmm? I have to tell you, I'd have a problem buying something from "Bob Barefoot" even if it wasn't total hooey.

this stuff really works.. i have been taking it for over a year. i have developed acute hearing and superior strength. my wife loves it too because i have become superhuman in bed. i have developed a revised method of extracting the coral into a liquid form from my specialized calcium effluent dripper. it is ten times as potent as anything out on the market. i am marketing this liquid calcium in 16 ounce bottles for 49.95 and in 5 gallon buckets (marked instant ocean) for 299.95 send checks to my offshore account.
