The price is always the same - with incredibly inflated comparisons, so three easy payments for something may seem like a bargain to the gullible.

For AOL users, there is a "Spam Control" at the bottom of the inbox that will let you block addresses or mail containing certain words or phrases. It is not as complete as Outlook's rules, but easy to use.

Yes, she was always trying to sell one thing or another.

I signed up a couple of days ago. It looked like a good place to get free patterns. I am already sorry--it has been less than a week. I haven't seen any thing of interest yet.

Yep. I too have been through the "Penny Pitch" !! No more. I unsubscribed and ended that nonsense!

Welcome to the world many of us have unfortunately experienced. I ended up getting a new email address.

Every e-mail was just a teaser to buy more. I soon found out I could have learned more, from this group or on Yu Tube. I regret the day I wasted my money, and time for this
and am glad I didn't fall for more.
I,m glad you posted this. I was kind of leery of doing it,
because I thought I should not.
I did get the e-mails to stop after a couple of trys.
Hang in there and keep trying or just DELETE.
I had a similar experience - and I agree - keep trying or just delete.
