Was getting those New Sign Up emails all day long like from every FL Casino in the FL group. Worse even than ROGUE spam, to me, is spam for Sign Up Deals for a group like FL where I've had an account at each of their casinos ever since Bryan was a Junior Moderator at GG and drinking Near Beer! AND this dreck in my MAILmail NOT in my JUNKmail! Think I was mad? The return address said "Donna Summers" but, of course, it wasn't really from her! It was from one of the spammy hell parallel universes. So, I reported every piece to SpamCop.net and also forwarded each one to the FL spam-control/ affiliate sheriff Bryan provided, which is:

OK, hmmm. Just like the other ones weren't really from Donna Summers I'd be willing to make a Gentleman's wager that these (YES there ARE more of them! All from different FL casinos!) aren't REALLY from Angelina J! Ha! While E Coyote....etc!
The only main difference (besides the celeb names used and the spammy addresses - the Donna Summers ones were from news@crapyerpantsorsomething.com) was that NOW the source view is all DOUBLE SPACED! Great. So, I don't report em to SpamCop yet cuz I foget, if I ever knew, how to covert em (quickly) to single-spaced but I forward em to FL and here's my bright idea in a note I added to the forwarded spam:

I'm starting a new thread at CasinoMeister.com about this issue of the large volume of sophisticated spam touting FL. Less than a week after "Donna Summers" stopped now THIS SHIT! Huh! Whodda thunk it! Know what I think? I think FL is masquerading as their own affiliates!! Now the fox really IS watching the the henhouse, or, SPAMhouse and after a week or so, we'll just SEE, won't we? After it runs it course! Ha!
Before it was Donna Summers, now its Angelina J??? This particularly nasty spammer, if not aka Donna Summers, is double-spacing, Donna Summers single spaced. so Spam Cop cannot source them unless I submit it single spaced! Spammers that take extra lengths to defend themselves from me NOW I'm getting from YOU, Fortune Lounge??? So it wasn't bad enough I have to forward this shit to you and report to Spam Cop, now I have to re-format the source view? See! I was only waiting til the WEEKEND to see if the B.S. had stopped and, if so, I was gonna deposit $50-100. NOT another NICKEL deposited in any FL casino until you decide that you will pay more than just lip service with regards to your spam polices and how your affiliates OBVIOUSLY ignore them. Shit rolls downhill. Roll more, faster.

OK so why would FL go through all the trouble to pretend to be some lame spammer just so they could get away with spamming their own, known customers, customers with long established, active accounts with New Sign Up promos that couldn't possibly benefit FL in any way, whatsoever, you ask? Well, I haven't quite figured that part out yet. OK!, ok! its probably just some lame, Chinese spammer from Kazakhstan. Or whatever. It still sucks, right?
And its only 2:38 AM here. Call that late? What time does Mommy put YOU to bed? Milk n Cookies:30 PM?

There were about 4 or 5 every day for over a week and while I never got any reply the FL spam stopped. For almost a week. Everything was great! Until this arrived in my MAILmail, NOT my JUNKmail:Open New Player Account and get $300 Free
