beat the junk post ?

[Andy_1984]

many moons ago i got some peice of crap junk post telling me i won 250,000 euros just send £25

 

i turned up the corner of the card and stuck it back in the post, 1 week later it got delivered back to me

 

so im thinking do these pre paid postage things get billed to someone each time they get delivered if so why not just whack all of your junk post back in to the mail box and repeat when it gets sent back to you again and give the junk mailers and scammers a hefty bill

 

no doubt they bought our details off some website who harvests our details.

all the majot companys are up to it.

 

and they are getting realy devious about it aswel. i wanted to install some sony ericson software so i could transfer some music to my brothers phone it had something along these lines in the disclaimer:

[] check this box if you agree to allow sony to sell your details to a third party for promotions

 

[X] check this box if you agree to sony's terms and conditions and wish to use this software

 

Next Cancel

 

_____________

 

clicked on next and a popup that said "you must agree to option 1 (the first checkbox - Andy) if you wish to proceed"

 

what a bloody cheek!

beats just losing all your details on a train i expect

you dont need the phones software to put stuff on phones my bluetooth dongle just does it without signing anything ,most supplied software for stuff isnt needed if your gadget is bluetooth or wireless only if its connected via serial cables even then windows will do most of it if it recognises it.

i suppose though if the phone needs to convert the mp3's to something else it may come in handy but you can pretty much convert anything to anything free today,i'v been converting my .FLV youtube stuff to avi's and WMP files to go on my sat nav for incar entertainment

yeah i know but i couldnt find any mp3 ripping software on my computer so the supplied software would do it but screw agreeing to those terms had to wait a week before he came back down to the house before i could put some music on it
