Gee....I wonder why they can't lend into the states mentioned - could it be because some of those states have started going after these companies? Just thought it was kind of humorous.

It's because they are prohibited in the states listed in the e-mail and they have more than likely signed agreements with those states to mention they are not lending to those residents. I got that info from my AG's office.

sorry, didn't realize some of those links remained active - I went back and deleted them.

Here goes another bunch of PDL sharks trying to give you a loan and another bill on top of that. LOL

Yup, exactly right, natdust! I don't even check my "trash" inbox much, I usually just delete them, because I don't get anything but that - trash. I usually scroll down through to be sure that's what it all is before I delete it, but it always is. And there's a TON of payday lender e-mails in there. Lately, I've been getting the "find an adult friend" or v-agra ads in my regular inbox, though - annoying.

Yea, I have set my "BULK" box to automatically delete them and when I get junk in my inbox, I usually mark it as spam. Somehow they still get through under a different email addy.

Posted: Sat Feb 17, 2007 5:02 pm Subject:

It's because they're bots and keep mutating like a dang virus everytime you mark them as spam.

Not only do I get the bogus PDL ads, I also get ads promising to enlarge a certain part of my anatomy that I don't have, lol......

I get those P-enlargement ads too..They always say something like "hey Michelle, want to be hung like a horse?" I notice that those are sponsered by singles websites frequently..Go figure.

Posted: Sat Feb 17, 2007 5:12 pm Subject:

I get a few of those a week. But what is surprising is that I have another e-mail that I use and only family have that addy and this week I have gotten about 10 offers from pdls! It is starting to give me the willies!

Posted: Sat Feb 17, 2007 5:13 pm Subject:

I get them all also. Well one thing is for sure, .... does matter.

Posted: Sat Feb 17, 2007 5:14 pm Subject:

And why is it that guys never get those enlargement ads? I mean, hell, SOMEONE has to keep them in business, right????

Posted: Sat Feb 17, 2007 5:15 pm Subject:

I also get some from those singles websites. Some of them are like XXX crap and others say "Natasha, wanna go out tonight?" It kinda creeps me out too...
