The strangest thing...

I get a lot of spam e-mails at work (mainly penis enlargement & viagra) but today I got one that really made me say WTF!?

It offered an unusual service and linked in to this website http://www.withyou.co.uk/

(nb. This site is family friendly. No smutty pics, no rude words, just very erm....)

It was a spam for product #4.

I've had a good look around the website and it looks almost genuine but I'm suret it's some kind of hoax and they're spamming for publicity. Maybe it's going to be a TV series or something.

See what you think...

That's the one they spammed me with. Subject of email? "Dyingforit"!

I think I'm going to bookmark this site and check up on the other products as they are added!

Hmmmm. Mysterious. Who is number 1?


Have you noticed that if you click on "Order Now" it sets up a blank e-mail to the address [urll]info@withyou.co.uk[/url] ?

Must be a mailing list you can subscribe to. I'm going to e-mail them and try to find out more/something.


This ain't over by a long shot!

Which would you like for your birthday? Their salesperson's on the phone trying to close down me down on the deal. She thinks I should either arrange for you to get stigmata or to believe you were orphaned at 6 and raised by wolves.

Me too but this ain't your average spam by a very long way. If it weren't for product #3, I think I'd believe it was real and not a hoax. #3 would be illegal.

this scares me. it reminds me of that requiem for a dream website for some reason. i definitely don't like it. i know it's suppose to be a joke but it just gives me a bad feeling. like soundgarden's original black hole sun video
