Here is an example of idiot email marketing I just got, this was sent to a site that serves 3 to 4 million pages per month.

Hmmm, her marketing website isn't mentioned mentioned so no chance of seeing their great marketing works, maybe a clue in the email?

Nope, google and yahoo the email and nothing on first page, check the ip and it's Indiana, are Americans really that sloppy and dumb?

I'd hardly limit sloppiness and dumbness to Americans. Both are universal. I'd also say that 99% of the email I get similar to the one you posted here come from somewhere in South East Asia.

China isn't in South East Asia.

Where did I say anything about China? I know where China is. The emails I get are mostly from India with Indonesia and the Philippines running second and third.

Well if you read their emails they were all having issues in Nigeria, usually relating to the government. I guess they all migrated to Malaysia. A shame that they're having the same financial problems there as well.

Ones in Nigeria just do the cell phones and bikes and stuff scams, spent a lot of time in internet cafes in Malaysia, lots of groups of Nigerians sending out emails with offers of loads of money for your bank details, ones in Bangkok now are doing ccvs and setting up sites to pretend to sell atm skimmers, they are diversifying

Also it's definitely not a place to be wealthy or an insurance brokers.

What with Car accidents and air crashes that also wipe out your close family all at the same time, I bet nobody buys lottery tickets there!
