ARgrrrh! - Never claimed to be the sharpest tool, but went & proved it - filled out a "sweepstakes"

[UTUSN]

Before opening YouTube, there was an offer for a "FREE" Dewalt bits set. Yeah-right. So all I had to do was to fill out a "survey." Yeah-right.

It was billed as taking only 54 seconds. And it was webpage after webpage offering "tips" on Rx, investments, health insurance, car insurance, etc. - seemingly without end.

I marked "No" to everything. Every so often a window said I needed to complete this or that to claim my FREE prize and enter a sweepstakes.

****Finally, I clicked Unsubscribe, and silly me thought it was over.

So in the past half hour there have been 10-15 emails offering stuff, been Unsubscribing like crazy. Or "crazy" was me for falling for it.

I'd probably sign over my house for a decent socket set.

7. Unsubscribing only serves to show the spammers

that they have got a ‘live one.’
