arrrggg ... ehMac's been spammed ....

Bound to happen ... damn Nigerian posts 8 identical posts pushing his wares. 5 times alone in the About Mac section - wondering to myself what a $140US Motorola phones has to do with Macs.

Would anybody seriously consider buying a phone that has to be shipped from Nigeria? And thinking about that, does anybody, when they hear the word Nigeria, place the word scam second?

No problem, I'll place my order for 6 dozen - you ship first, when I receive them I'll send a US Postal Money order for a little more than the phones are worth and you can send me the over-payment back via Western Union.

Oh, and God Bless You too for this wonderful opportunity you offer.

Heart's around somewhere, he'll get them.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has reported these retarded scam posts...

My personal web site comment page is being spammed more often than usually these days too.

I don't know if ithis is a new trend... and I wonder how I can get rid of that without shutting down this page

I just sent this person an appeal to help me get my frozen assets out of Nigeria. I am a Nigerian prince (on my father's side) but I am unable to reclain the throne. Hopefully, he shall send me $18 million Canadian as payment for the over $35 million US in negotiable bearer bonds and gold certificates. We shall see.
