Hint: In future, to perfect your pseudo-scam, make the drug be in Phase I, II, or, if you really must, Phase III trials. If it's in Phase IV, it's already on the market, and thus must already have been shown to work. Tylenol is still often the subject of Phase IV trials.<BR/><BR/>Mrs. Micah, I've seen that fax scam too. Tricky. I bet they really do have rows and rows of faxes in a warehouse somewhere, making poor 'Pam' repeatedly look like an idiot.Fecundityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07357725319777178709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912374653361649205.post-50040147602695019132007-12-21T15:27:00.000-08:002007-12-21T15:27:00.000-08:00Thanks Mrs. M!Pretty tricky fax idea!Amazing to th...Thanks Mrs. M!<BR/><BR/>Pretty tricky fax idea!Amazing to the level of which they will sink. I always imagine a big warehouse in some dark remote country with nothing but rows of fax machines and computers randomly generating the latest stock picks, Irish Lottery winners and Nigerian Princes.<BR/><BR/>I guess if there is a sucker born every minute, there are 525,600 new targets a year for them...Noel Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04101799343286185259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912374653361649205.post-16518011819502613742007-12-21T14:40:00.000-08:002007-12-21T14:40:00.000-08:00Nice comparison there!!I recently got a fascinatin...Nice comparison there!!<BR/><BR/>I recently got a fascinating kind of spam. It was fax spam and misaddressed. It was a printout of some "fact sheet" about a stock with a note on it written from "Pam" to "Janet" about how she'd just gotten a tip from a guy who worked at the company and whatnot. It was supposed to look like the fax got missent and we were lucky enough to receive it. Clever trick, I thought. And faxes have the advantage over e-mail because you can include handwritten notes...and somebody has to check the machine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
