IT Milk: entry

I can’t believe someone on the PSU domain is spamming me with an affiliate offer. I received this email from the President of “PSU Free Student Offers.” This character named Samantha Volley is obviously fake, and I confirmed it because the name is not in the Penn State Directory or even Facebook.

Dear Penn State Student:

You can get a FREE Xbox 360 Elite. This is the first semester we are
trying this and it will be well worth your time to give it a shot.
Just click the link below to begin!

All Xbox’s are shipped directly via Amazon, and remember the elite
system is a $450-$500 value so don’t miss out. If you are wondering
how this works, just click “How this works” at the top right of the
page above.

STEP 1: Click link above
STEP 2: Register valid email address and shipping information (where
you would like the Xbox to be sent)
STEP 3: Complete 1 free offer
STEP 4: Have 5 of your friends complete 1 free offer

Enjoy,

Samantha Volley
President

Email campaigns like this might not be a bad route to take if you’re an affiliate marketer currently enrolled in college, as long as you can cover your tracks. I could potentially have a mailing list filled with tens of thousands of live email addresses on the PSU domain. Other marketers might pay big bucks for a mailing list like this too. I’m sure this has been done already…
