Over the past couple of days ive been getting some pretty “lulz” worthy comments (And emails), from people that are somehow thinking they can threaten me. Now when i say threaten, i think they mean tell everyone in their population 100 town. You see apparently, giving away something for free is “just me scamming”. Yes thats right, I develop software in my free time, just so i can scam you guys.
You may ask how the hell am i scamming when im not selling anything, i mean you can download if for free right? Well this is what i thought. But apparently the new definition of scamming, is “Giving something away just to put my name on the internet”. Lol.
This all started when my inbox got flooded with people that couldnt create a txt file for Twitter Friend Adder. Admittedly i should have just developed it so the application made one on its own, or at the very least zipped up a file with it in. But i have too much faith in my user base to do this, and most of all, i like handing out just the single exe. Seems so much portable. Well people cant manage to create a txt file (Or download .net framework come to think of it), and so email me saying if i dont help them they will report me to every review site they can about how im scamming them.To be honest most of the time i flick you an email back explaining it. Infact i have a pre written “Download .net 3.5 with links” and “How to create a txt file” sitting on my desktop that i just copy and paste in now.
Yeah i know, ive probably lost you with my ramblings. And even if it wasnt my pidgeon english that lost you, it was probably the fact that this makes absolutely no sense what so ever. Well your not alone. Rather then me explain it, ill just copy and paste one of the emails in here.
First email :
I know I have been buggin you to tears but I still have a few questions about the software. You call Twitteer friend added. Where does it ad new friends? I have looked at my twitter account and there are no new friends added. Am I not doing something right here?
Ok so i recieved the above message at 6:25pm my time. Its not too late, but by this time im not helping people with their problems. Ill email him back in the morning. Then when i wake up i have this new message in my inbox :
I sent you an email and haven’t gotten a responce from you yet. I know how the email service is and how email can be stuck in spam folder so I am resending this. The question is where does the Twitter friend adder ad friends? I have checked my twitter account and there is no new people that have been added. I used my real twitter account which is speedster110 and password *****. What do you think
?
The above was sent at 5:39 am my time. Jesus, the guy didnt even wait 12 hours for a response. Its not as though i can have a life is it…. Not only that, but he actually did send through his password in the email. Ive blanked it out for you guys, but lord what a tool. If you have a look at his account he is just spamming teeth whitening anyway. So combining all this, I didnt really feel like helping him. I may sound like an asshole for this but I thought he could figure it out by himself. Plus i didnt want anything to do with him after he started handing me his passwords (Not that i have tried them btw, but possibly the same password for his email etc).
Then about a week later i get this :
I sometimes wounder what it would be like scamming the unspecting victum. Would it be exciting a thrill ride never stopping. Well I will never find out because I feed on the uncovering of such persons. I may not have a large following but my is growingI think around 25 maybe 26 millinon haven’t checked my counters lately.Still haven’t gotten your program to work, if it ever did work I am starting to wounder. You see I have written 4 emails to you asking where the friends were added. They aren’t being added to my account. I think you need to answer me by return email or I will assume you are a fake and ad to the new review sites I have everything I know about your program
Lol. I dont actually think it makes sense but anyway. I replied basically with “WTF”. And asked him what he was jabbering on about.
you are a fake your software does not work. why give it away. does it make you fell good to get your name on the internet. you never answer my emails when I asked simple questions on how to make it work. Second question is where are the friends being added certantly not on my account I checked and rechecked. I also started a new account just to check and still no one is being added. don’t even try to say it is my computer and software I have all the latest updates inc cluding .net framework 3.5 sp1. So why does it not work? Why does it not install accounts.txt? why does it not ad anything??????????????
Well. There wasnt much to reply to this one. Amongst other things, my final reply was :
if you cant get it to work, eat sh**
Now dont get me wrong. The support is here if you want it, im sure many of you have already emailed me problems. Some have even emailed me features that have been included in subsequent versions. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. But dont email me with a chip on your shoulder thinking that I owe you 24/7 support.
*Waits for no one to email ever again
