Problem with spam? Andy can help. (Updated with Andy’s response)

by on Jan.24, 2008, under Spam

Seriously. Andy wants to help you be spam free.

From my spam listings:

AndyDelay can help!

If you’re one of the few people that are upset by finding spam in your inbox, you should simply “mail your domen” to andydelay@gmail.com.

Ok, I’d like to discuss a few points of interest now if I may.

“Want delete your site from spam bases? Mail your domen andydelay@gmail.com.”

Ok first of all, if “All your base are belong to us” can become such a huge catchphrase, I’ve got to be able to turn a buck on the statement above. I know we’re dealing with someone whose tongue doesn’t speak the English language natively, but Christ almighty in a rolling donut, Babelfish works in both directions. Have spammers gotten so lazy that they can’t be bothered to make sure their message going out tens of thousands of blogs and forums is at least coherent? What are we supposed to do Andy? Do you want our domain? What if we don’t own one, should we just send you an anonymous note with “hotmail.com”? I know we’re not dealing with a genius here, but I have to hope that andydelay@gmail.com might realize that if the message is so ridiculously and hopelessly malformed, we might not trust him and he might not get an email to harvest addresses from.

Secondly, The links to his address are intentional. I invite you to register a temporary email address and send Andy an email today! Send him anything you’d like, although I suggest against spam, since GMail’s filters are dandy and he’d probably never see it.

Want to add it to your forum sig?

“Want delete your site from spam bases? Mail your domen andydelay@gmail.com.”

Make sure the email address is a clickable link, so it’s picked up properly by bots. Let’s turn it into the next great internet revolution. Everyone reading this should send me a dollar as well.

Finally, I’d like to ask who would fall for something like this? Is it the same person sending their bank account information to a sultan being held hostage in Sudan? Are there enough of those types of people out there to keep Andy happy?

I sure as hell hope so. I’d hate to see a note from him written in angry haste.

Update:

From our friend Andy:

hahaha:-)
that’s good work, my friend. nobody ever wrote a blog post about me;)

but guess what? i am really deleting url’s of websites people sending to me.
and i just delete your site too :)

i know it’s hard for you to understand why am i doing it :-)

ps.damn bots are picking email addresses even thought they arent a clickable
link ))

good luck.
andy:)

I guess he’s just doing something completely innocuous like research to cure cancer in Amazonian tree frogs.  Regardless, help him out, send an email today!

What can it hurt?  He’s just going to delete your site.
