you as an
| opt-in subscriber to
| Uproar/iwin.".
|
| Please, what means the terms opt-in and Uproar/iwin? Could
someone explain
| me these, please?.
"Opt-in" means that the sender claims that you asked him to send
you the message. That is, "signed up" for it. Maybe you did,
maybe you didn't.
Spammers often claim that you "opted-in", because if you had,
well then their spam wouldn't be spam--because you "solicited"
it.
I don't know about "Uproar", but iWin is the site of a pretty
fair search engine where you can by using their site earn
"points"--in this case, chances in a drawing to win free
merchandise. Does this sound familiar?
