I first received this message from a friend, but with much doubt, I immediately thought that it was another of those YM spam, which are probably induced by a virus. I remember those viruses that dwell inside your computer and then send weird messages to your contacts. Oohh!... Just nasty!... The messages are usually short and end with a URL of a site that. The people are deceived to enter the site, but once they click and load the site, voila! the virus gets installed to the receiver's computer.
The older viruses that did this usually send short and stupid messages. The messages looked so crappy that you could immediately discern that it's not from your friend. However, this new diet pill spam is longer and well scripted. If you are not familiar with these type of viruses and if you don't consider the actual manner with which your friend creates messages, you'll get tricked right away.
I onced followed the link to one of these messages (but I used Linux -- the virus-free operating system... haha) just to see if the sites provided are real. And indeed they are.
If the sites are real and the products that they are promoting are legal, why would they annoy people with such messages? Their promotion system behaves like a virus, and personally, any site that does should not be trusted. I wouldn't buy a single crappy pill from these sites since the promotion scheme that they have is so disrespecful. Let us not support these sites and products that go through extreme measures just to gain exposure. They can bombard me with all those messages, but it's also easy to ignore and delete them.
Die on your diet pills you morons!!!
