It does seem that 'ethical marketing' has about as much meaning as 'military intelligence', and it is easy to see why - this phishing scam is just the extreme end of the same slippery slope as the 'tell a friend' scripts, and so on. Just about every scammy technique used on the net was originally tried in print media - just not nearly so successfully. Although spam drives me nuts sometimes, it really isn't as bad as the thousands of unwanted flyers and catalogs that hit my physical mail box - they didn't have to cut down nearly so many trees to send me the electrons as the paper to try to sell me something I would never buy anyway. Anyway, since you now rank for 'ethics' and 'marketing' it will be interesting to get a conversation going here ... email / zip submits or spyware toolbars, anyone? Hello.

I got my myspace profile phished and it sent out loads of crap to all my friends. Many deleted me and it caused a lot of damage to my profile. I’m so fed up with phishing and I think it’s so low.

I dunno man... half the reason for the sub-prime crisis is because people didn't read the bit of paper before signing on the dotted line. By & large, people are idiots. Sure, the average IQ may be 100pts, but I'd bet the curve on the negative side of that is pretty damned steep. “More should be done to educate the sheeple about online security and to not sign up to anything they haven’t read - as they generally wouldn’t if they were signing a piece of paper.”
