Spam - on the radio…

[almostwitty]

We’ve all had spam emails exhorting us to join some kind of home-based business scheme which promises to bring in income of thousands of dollars/pounds/yen per month while working from home.

What I’m not used to is turning on the radio - for instance, at CBS-owned WDOK Radio in Cleveland - and hearing the aural equivalent of such an advert, promising the listener thousands of dollars to work from a home-based business scheme, just by going to the ever-so-classy webaddress www.earnextraincome.com. Which then takes you to a radiocbs.theonlinebusiness.com website. So we essentially have the fourth biggest radio station owner in the United States promoting a superficial home-business scheme. Oh dear.

Oh yes, and sister company CBS Interactive owns last.fm …

Those kind of ads seem to be everywhere now. Unfortunately with the recession more people than ever are going to sucked in.
