[philmont] Hi,...don't "Hi" me.

As Jim says, "chill". It's entirely possible that both Joe's and the
Phil-list email addresses were harvested and used to generate that spam.
It was allowed to pass through the Phil-list server because it appeared
to come from a subscribed member. This is called spoofing, and is a
significant source of confusion surrounding spam. I get flooded at work
with bounce messages from people's email servers reporting non-delivery
of messages from me that I never actually sent...all having been
generated by complete strangers using my name and email address.

The solution? Recognize that it's spam, resign yourself to the fact that
it's now an unavoidable part of doing business, delete it, and get on
with enjoying life.

I did not realize this site was subject to this type of spam. The last
thing, the very last thing I have any interest in is in promoting an
overseas business through the Boy Scouts of AMERICA. Vendor
relationships are not our responsibility.

All the promises in China have no leverage here. I’m not surprised they
“ promise they will provide the best after-sales-service.”

If this continues, I will unsubscribe.

Subject: [philmont] Hi,

Hi,
   How are u doing these days?Yesterday I found a web of a large trading
company from china,which is an agent of all the well-known digital
product factories,and facing to both wholesalers,retailsalers,and
personal customer all over the world. They export all kinds of digital
products and offer most competitive and reasonable price and high
quality goods for our clients,so i think we you make a big profit if we
do business with them.And they promise they will provide the best
after-sales-service.In my opinion we can make a trial order to test
that. Look forward to your early reply!
