Christian Mortgage USA at it again
Last month I received spam from a company with the stomach-turning name "Christian Mortgage USA". I posted to my blog about it, since I've been a vocal critic of spam in general and "Christian" spam in particular for some time.
It looks as though CM-USA is conducting another spam campaign. My site is in the top ten search results for "Christian Mortgage USA" on pretty much every search engine, and I've been receiving a lot more hits from people searching for this company's name the last day or so than normal. Today alone I had four or five visitors in a row arriving on my site via a search for more info about CM-USA.
The best way to handle spam of any kind? DELETE IT. Don't reply to it, because that's often a way to confirm your address. Same goes for clicking the "remove me" link. In addition, there are now hacker exploits that take advantage of the "remove me" link as a way to crack your computer.
Whatever you do, don't purchase any spamvertized product or service. That's why spam works - because a very tiny percentage gets hooked by any given spam, even though 99+% are livid.
Christian spam is the lowest of the low, and Christian Mortgage USA is among the Net's bottom-dwellers. Please read my earlier thoughts on this company and Christian spam, and then delete anything you get from them. Maybe enough people will figure this out to put these yutzes out of business.
