Spamming: Can you help?
Hi you guys,

I have a strange question: (Read thoroughly before you answer!!!)

Where can I find information on how to become a spammer? Here’s why….

I am raising funds so that I can go from Stem Cell treatment in China (I suffer from Ataxia). I am from South Africa and my only intention is to send an e-mail to South African e-mail recipients asking for funds.

I have gone the media route and asking for major sponsorships but times are tough. My only option left is asking for funds via e-mail (ie. the spammer route).

How would I do this?

Please, my intentions are honourable, I mean no harm. (I know people hate spammers, I do to, but this is an option I have to explore)

Thank you

Riaan van der Merwe

Spamming will not attract any sympathy to your cause I'm afraid. People often don't fall for e-mail spam messages. Besides, it would be against TSG's rules and ethics to help you become a spammer.

I would suggest promoting your website in a more efficient way instead.

I really think very few people would enjoy getting spam messages like that, probably only about 1.5 out of 10.

Unfortuately, although I sympathize with your plight and wish you well in your endeavours, this is not something that we can assist with for many reasons and I'm sure you can understand that. I agree with the other posts made here that there are other and better ways to get your message out there. In the meantime, good luck with your health and I sincerely hope you reach your goal and enjoy better health in the future.

I think having your bank account details there is a bit risky
What is stopping someone from hacking into it ?

I hope you manage to get the support you need
