I bet you did if Platinum Bucks has every got their greedy little hands on your email address!

I know I'm usually the 1st to remind people that bitching about something like this is stupid unless you "take up the cause" and try to fight every piece of spam that you get in your inbox each & every day, but what the fuck is it with Platinum Bucks? It's not like this is the 1st time they've sold their list to the highest bidder or let one of their employees use it for one of their side projects.

I also love the ICQ's I get from them, telling me about the promo that they just sent me a newsletter on or about some useless contest on GFY. Or, in the case of the last one I got, this brand spanking new webcam program that's the 78th one to enter the market since 2003.

You bitch, you complain, you click the removal link.....*******Cash February Promotion!

You think they'd take some of the money they make from selling our email addy's & put in a working Rewards Store :D
