Re: New CD Freaks Marketing Strategy lol

I get loads of emails from myself and also from email addresses from my domain which dont even exist, what was funny about this one was the title of the email.
Normally you get something like "Funny Pictures" or "I Like You" or "Hello" or "Hi" or "Read This"
This is the first time ive had "Ok Cunt" :-)

Only joking but its a title that would make you want to look.
Makes a change from the usual "expand your lenth by 3ins" emails that i get all the time.

I love getting mails from myself though

2 Reasons for that.
1st is because its spam.
2nd is I couldnt take a screenshot of my inbox for privacy reasons.

BTW dallshead I have never seen any "expand your lenth by 3ins" emails nor has anybody I know. Are you sure these are not people YOU know. lol
