What’s the point?

What the hell is the point of this spam???
It ain’t like I can read it, or am dumb enough to ring up the numbers to chat with someone who obviously can not communicate in English. I mean, really, this isn’t even Engrish! What is it?
I get tons of this crap, and tons of SPAM in [...]

The Power of the ‘Styrene Acrylate Copolymer’, Yeah!
