First email, now cell phones?
March 29th, 2007*sigh* Today was very momentous for me. No, it was not my first kiss, nor did I get my drivers license or break a limb. Today, I got my first piece of cell phone spam. I turned on my phone, and got really quite excited when it beeped a few times. “Yay, I got a message!” I thought to myself. I open the phone, and see that I have a “secret message.” Hmm… Now, I’m still not entirely sure what this meant, but the message basically linked me to a place where I could buy a mobile phone ringer. I already get enough useless text messages from facebook - I don’t want to start getting spam, too!
I consider myself lucky - I’ve had my email address for years, and get virtually no spam on it. None! My parents can get dozens every day, and their emails can’t be as far out on the internet as mine. But at least they don’t have to pay for simply receiving them. Yeah, I’ve only gotten one so far. I hope I didn’t piss someone off to the point where they sold my cell number to a spammer… Well, maybe I’ll end up being lucky with this version of spam as well…
