JoeJeavons, Fonejacker is pretty funny I like this one
It's the purpose of spamming try to contact you with outstanding offers.
Then when you read all rules linked to the offer, every time, almost by chance, there is something wrong; in this case, tournament is not so free as they told

Those emails can be annoying but reading terms for those offers can be quite amusing sometimes, especially when you get offers from casinos. Something like $0 max. withdraw amount from that offer or 100x playthrough, deposit+money won starting after deposit has been made with max amount that can be cashed out not exceeding $100 and such. Or sick statements that they don`t spam their customers and that they are serious about it, but DO NOT use links provided in emails, NEVER. google for site and read terms. Most of the time I just delete them but when something new pops up I read all terms just for fun to see what have sinister marketing minds come up with now.

not annoying sometimes they inform you about good offers...reload bonus/tournys etc.. some are really amusing tho as predobar says. but why not use links provided in emails ? i mean most of the time your already registered at the site.

my favorites are those that :"... your name was drawn from our customers (and I'm not their customer) and was awarded a prize bla bla bla. " I do not understand why I'm so lucky when I have to be drawn but i can never crack the safe
------------ when i will have enough points i will join to the mob draw

sometimes spammers use legit sites and their offers to see if email is active or not. Once picture is downloaded or link is used they know that for sure and youll get even more spam. If you have spam filter set up that it does not show picures but your inbox does, first move, without opening it, that suspicious email to spam folder. That way pictures and other stuff are not downloaded.
