    Never, since the "products" advertised in spam are either pr0n, drugs, obvious scams, or just shady in general.

      It amazes me when I get those legit type products as spam. No, I'd never purchase from Spam. Some of the opt-ins that I have signed up for in the past are now just sent to the spam box. and i can't bother even opting out. Regardz Colin J Davies

            Would you buy something from a man who jumped you in the street and shoved his product in your face while indecently exposing himself and shouting at you? I wouldn't either.

                There was this one time this Nigerian guy needed me to hang on to some money for him. That worked out pretty well.

                            Exactly the attitude which we need to promote! I once considered McAfee a viable anti virus solution. But ever since they started to spam me, I've decided that I will not buy anything from them. Heck, if someone throws a pirated McAfee CD my way, I will take it to the shooting range and turn it into silvery, plastic dust. :mad: -- Das ist die Grenze! So weit, nicht weiter!

                                          I have never bought a product directly from the email advertisement. But there have been times when the product looked good enough that I ended up buying from somewhere else. So no - I would never buy something from SPAM.
