ahahaha ridiculous spam

[chayton]

I got this spam today with the subject line "Money comes your way!" and of course I opened it (because just in case money really IS coming my way) and it's a casino spam that says simply this...

If you are tired of being broke all the time and you want to feel like a complete person being able to afford everything you want, visit our casino Paradise and enjoy the cash flood.

I'm broke and don't feel like a complete person...wait, I have an idea, I can gamble online and win lots of money and afford everything I want! Yay! Can someone loan me a hundred bucks?

Thanks for the heads up, I can now beat you to it and become a more complete person than you by gambling all my money there.

SUCKER!!

Ah! A 'cash flood'. I haven't had one of those since the big storms earlier in the year.....

...oops. My bad. That was just an actual flood that cost me cash. Easy mistake to make.

I am in need of money and i would like to feel complete . Some casinos will try anything.

There is an AWESOME F**k up by the All Slots group along these lines, maybe six or seven years ago.

There's a great thread somewhere.

Essentially, they were sending out SEO copy/ads along the lines of "I was going to kill myself - and then I found All Slots casino, won some money and now I feel fine"

I kid you not - my example up there is tame compared to what they were actually doing.

It was epic in its misjudged, appalling, off the scale morality vacuum.

I'll try and find the thread.

I SWEAR that is not an exaggeration!

Can't find the thread - too many search results for "All" and "Slots" for some reason

My favourite is that playing the flash casino cures cancer.

Thank you - I was thinking of that same instance but couldn't remember which group it was. How NOT to do marketing or responsible gaming.

"Want Guilt Free Overspending?"
I had forgotten how appalling some of those 'testimonials' really were, holy hell.

That's some unbelievable stuff right there.

Edit: From what I understand, they hired people to make stories up ("outsourced content writer") and these guys went a little overboard.

Well, 7 years on and things are different. Regulation has evolved, and sending something like that can get the casino being promoted into a hell of a mess due to the responsible gambling rules. They cannot so easily dismiss such things by saying "an outsourced agency did it", as in law they are responsible as the employer of said agency. A few collars felt by regulators over this constant failure to police the affiliate spammers may make affiliate programs take the matter more seriously. It seems that at present they only react to a complaint, and often dish out no more than the "slapped wrist". They of course gain much more traffic from these too good to be true stories.

Standard CYA technique. "Oh we have stolen copyrighted content on our site? It must have been umm...that freelance web designer we hired. Yeah. Offensive testimonials? oh...errr that was the uhhh...outsourced content writers."

lol - of course it may be true, but ultimately the owner of the site is who's got to take responsibility.

Glad to see I was just as much a sarcastic tw*t back then as now.
