Is it just me, or is everyone getting a ton of spam about Rolex watches?

I Speak of Dreams (24-Oct-04 10:46 AM): No Thanks on the Rolex Watches
OK, everybody who I don't know from Adam's off ox: read my lips. I have no interest in Rolex watches, genuine or knock-off. Stop with the emails. ...

Comments?

I haven't gotten any of that. It's still mostly Viaga, Penis Enlargement and Mortgages for me.

Yep--quite a bit.

But fake Rolex watches go great when I cruise for c*ick* with my enlarged, thick, tool that can pound for 36 hours straight.

And I can afford many, many of these fake Rolexes with all the money flowing into my account from good souls in South Africa, Korea, various mid-African countries, Haiti and other exotic and apparently well-off lands.

Oops...

I take it back.

Just checking my email and lo and behold

"Dave, did it and so can you - p**** is a ROLEX to good, for you?"

I just can't wait to see Dave's new fake Rolex.;-0

Quoth *** Dave ...

This morning alone ...

- Now's the time to get an offshore ROLEX replica =)
- R0LEX, don't pay full price like a chump [got this one 3x]
- Wish you had a Rol3x timepiece?
- Got Rolex? Now you can.
- R0lex replicaz - nobody can tell the difference
- Sport a replica Rolex for less [got this one 5x]
- Don't miss out on our Ro lex timepiece sale [got this one 2x]
- Why wear a second class watch when you can have ...

That's fifteen messages. And they all got through the corporate spam filter (which isn't yet looking for wristwatch spam).

I especially like the "chump" one. Heh.

"Aw, Edith, look ... it's an 'N.'"
-- Archie to Edith when Michael noted that the sweet watch deal he'd gotten from a street vendor wasn't an "Omega" but an "Onega."

Quoth amity ...

I was Googling 'Rolex spam' and got this....YES, I am getting an insane amount and it's really pissing me off. I had 9 this morning that got through all of my spam filters too, and about 23 out of 25 in my spam filter. Sick, and it's pissing me off!

You're not alone.

I got so frustrated that I searched Google for the words "Rolex spam" - and you were the first site that came up.

What's weird is all the Rolex spams are slightly different.

Maybe it's some black-market MLM scheme....

Yes same here... Its all stemming from the onlinereplicastore[dot]com all the emails trace back to that domain.

I have reported the site numerous times for spam. I am getting around 10-20 Rolex spam emails everyday and its getting out of hand. Maybe if everybody starts to bitch to the company or about it something might get accomplished.

Quoth Annoyed spammed guy ...

Maybe we can somehow shut down the web site of onlinereplicastore[dot]com (where most of those spams point to)

I have emailed the guy with "questions" about the watches but he won't respond. There are a few ways we can drive up the costs for the guy running his web site, and we can spam him in return. He has a form on his web site which supposedly emails him. We can all keep filling out that form over and over and return junk to him.

We can also get everyone we can to run a program on their computer which will tie up the resources on his web server, either slowing it down, using up all his bandwidth, or maybe even crashing it.

I would never suggest such a thing about a company unless they were in my bad books. If this company is in the USA they can also be charged under the anti-spam laws of the US.
