It was a JOKE, Alex.
Of course, if they *were* collecting email addresses, they could do so easily without providing any kind of space on a form in which to type one -- press the RSVP button, and the system automatically knows your email ID. Duh. I was just riffing on the utter STUPIDITY of people wanting to see someone who claims to be passing along information from someone after his death. You have to admit, any list of such people really *would* be invaluable to spam marketers, because you simply can't find any group of people more gullible than that. And it's not as if this "information" they're anxious to hear is from any old dead person...it's from Dead Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who didn't really have all that much of value to say when he was alive. I'm just suggesting that the "RSVP List" from this "event" is almost by definition a list of the biggest group of losers on the planet, and thus would be a natural for resale to the spammer market. :-) ________________________________ From: "[email protected] [FairfieldLife]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, September 9, 2014 2:31 PM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] 30th November | Channeled Info from MMY RSVP | 30th November RSVP | 30th November RSVP OUR PRIVACY POLICY: View on 30thnovember.com Preview by Yahoo "Neither your email address nor any other personal information will be digitally captured or collected if you RSVP, live stream the Presentation or watch the Recording of this event.

There's never actually going to ever BE an "event," either live or streamed. It's all about gathering the names and email addresses of those who "RSVP." What this is is a brilliant scam to generate the Ultimate Spam List Of Sucker Email Addresses, which the scammers will then sell to generators of spam marketing worldwide. The scammers will be able to say to their potential spammer customers: "This is IT, the Ultimate list you've been looking for. The names on this list are by definition the dumbest, most gullible people on planet Earth, *just* the types you're looking for to buy your worthless Newage products. Look at the facts -- the people who signed up for this 'event' spent most of their lives and much of their money (anywhere from tens of thousands of dollars to *millions* of dollars) to hear the 'wisdom' of one of the most low-rent, ripoff, sham 'spiritual teachers' the world has ever known, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Now, several years after he kicked the bucket, they're ready to line up to hear MORE 'wisdom' from him from 'beyond the grave,' just because someone has claimed to be able to 'channel' him. You really CAN'T get any more dumb and gullible than this. THIS really IS the Ultimate Spam List Of Sucker Email Addresses -- invest today and you can make money from the same idiots that the TM organization ripped off."
