Yet another phone spammer posted this morning. "Gosh, don't they sell those things at every mall, a place you can return them if defective?????"
A couple of questions have come up that interested forum members would like answers to.
They are posted below.
Wayne Peter, how does these guys work? Do they really first manually register to this board and after that "manually" post a message? Or is there an evil script that does these? Any ideas? I guess there isn't much to do about prevent MR. Chendar Vanns to post their ads here? Maybe we should send Xanotell Limited a $1000 bill from every post they make  ?

They don't even warrant a conversation. The moderators delete them as they find them.

I have yet to meet anybody that has bought something through a spammers web site - I just don't get it, what's the point, are there people out there stupid enough to think their deals are safe? YES  It only takes 1 ... in every 1,000 ... or 10,000 ... or 1,000,000 people that are Really STUPID enough ...  Like those phone calls stating that "You have won a FREE trip" ... After I stop laughing ... I ask them if anyone is STUPID enough to believe them ... THEY JUST DON'T SEEM TO GET IT ...  Has anyone bought Viagra online ... just because you get a dozen Great offers a day ??

The last of the special built pedal cars will be going up for sale at the RM Auctions in Scottsdale in January. Built by the renown restorer Fran Roxas, this "Dusey" is truly is another work of art.
