Title: Dumbest Ad Ever
Post by: BillT on November 29, 2015, 12:53:29 PM
I just got an e-mail advertising an "Apple i-Light" (no such product).

It can shine through 5 inches of brick and will last forever.

I had hear the scammers try to select for the dumbest people because they don't want to deal with people who can figure out what their scam is.  I guess this is proof.

Young people are having a love affair with there phones.  A while back it was in vogue to have a cracked screen, no shit!  It's about "my phone is more cool than your phone".

Well, the ad had a picture of a fairly normal looking flashlight, not an i-phone.
I think they like the name because its cool.
