Speaking of spam and money grubbers
Have you all noticed the latest little ploy of all the TV stars to take more of your money? It used to be they'd have a contest that you could just enter online in hopes of being the lucky winner. Now they want you to text them to make your entry. Of course it cost you a dollar to enter with normal text rates applying. So what do they get in their weekly give aways? Several thousand entries and the winner gets what, a $40 release, a pair of gloves, a Tee shirt or whatever that cost a couple bucks. LOL They run the contest for 6 months or so and let you enter daily in hopes you may win the grand prize... that would probably cost you $500-$3000 bucks to buy. And how many thousand upon thousands have these text messages brought in. Bad enough that they sell a $5 CD for $25... but really, bilking us a dollar at a time on the cell phone text. I'm sorry, I'm not texting. LOL
