What is Spam Message?

Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Spam costs the sender very little to send -- most of the costs are paid for by the recipient or the carriers rather than by the sender. There are two main types of spam, and they have different effects on Internet users. Cancellable Usenet spam is a single message sent to 20 or more Usenet newsgroups. (Through long experience, Usenet users have found that any message posted to so many newsgroups is often not relevant to most or all of them.) Usenet spam is aimed at "lurkers", people who read newsgroups but rarely or never post and give their address away. Usenet spam robs users of the utility of the newsgroups by overwhelming them with a barrage of advertising or other irrelevant posts. Furthermore, Usenet spam subverts the ability of system administrators and owners to manage the topics they accept on their systems. Email spam targets individual users with direct mail messages. Email spam lists are often created by scanning Usenet postings, stealing Internet mailing lists, or searching the Web for addresses. Email spams typically cost users money out-of-pocket to receive. Many people - anyone with measured phone service - read or receive their mail while the meter is running, so to speak. Spam costs them additional money. On top of that, it costs money for ISPs and online services to transmit spam, and these costs are transmitted directly to subscribers. One particularly nasty variant of email spam is sending spam to mailing lists (public or private email discussion forums.) Because many mailing lists limit activity to their subscribers, spammers will use automated tools to subscribe to as many mailing lists as possible, so that they can grab the lists of addresses, or use the mailing list as a direct target for their attacks

How long will spam last in the can?

you wont find a direct answer to this question. Spam is a canned meat like any other, and it would be safe to say around 5 years. If the can has maitained its seal, shape, and is not bloated or dented and has been kept in a cool climate it may last as long as 10 years, there is just no way of telling.....Open the can and smell it (seriously) if it smells good its probably ok to eat, but you can also try tasting a portion but do not swallow it unless youre sure it tastes ok, if not spit it out immediately. But after opening it must be eaten immediately...........Better be safe and just order some long term freeze dried food stores, they can last up to 25 years and are delicious also and usually have a high nutritional value. I keep canned goods for around 5 years then give them to charities (but most wont take them if expired but some will) then i just buy more....

Is Be. a scam?

Yes, Be. Productions is a scam. I worked for them as a "Talent Director" and left due to moral differences. They do not have the connections they claim to and are using the names and images of celebrities without their knowledge. "Talent Directors" are kept around based on sales volume and not the talent they find. You are tained to sell to everyone. There is no cut before the call back, only strategic scheduling to break down the groups into smaller volumes to lead the people to believe they are the only 6-10% that they claim they call back. They call everyone back. Thousands a week all over the state of California. Don't fall for it.
