What are the Trekbbs ads trying to sell to you?

Ebay ad saying complete my collection while showing me flooring...

This is not really about the ads themselves, but at least I figured out why I keep receiving a suspicious number of ads for random businesses in Houston. It should've been obvious in hindsight, but somehow I never made the connection.

Fact is, there is a person (actually, might be as many as three people, depending on how often they changed addresses and/or how much they travel) who has an almost identical email address to mine, and they keep putting in mine by accident in random situations. I've been tagging all their e-mail and moving them to a "NOT ME" folder in the hopes that my system will eventually start hiding them automatically, and noticed that they have recently been active in Houston, signing up for gym memberships, donating to charities and ordering takeout food there.

Well, that's one mystery solved.

Something called Allbirds Shoes, which I've never heard of before. Can't be targeted since I haven't been looking up any shoes or clothing.

 

[Kor]

Some kind of clickbait about some Wall Street guru predicting doom or something. And flower delivery, and Viagra with no doctor office visit required.

Sorry for double-post, but it's been a while...

Some online anime game.
And leather jackets with the slogan "It's Always Leather Weather!"

[Oddish]

Funny, that. PETA just threw me an anti-leather ad with "Go Vegan" (which isn't going to happen. Vegetarian, maybe).

 

[Kor]

Some kind of little bobblehead-looking figures of sports and political figures. And plus-size clothing for women over 50.

Ok, is anyone else getting the creepy AF "Most rarest human diseases" or some other clickbait add and it shows a weird eyeball disease or eye didn't grow in or something? I don't get squeamish on a lot of medical stuff but eyes are creepy and this one is not for the faint of eyes!

I've seen that one a few times. I think the picture they use in the ad is a photoshop job and not a real condition.

RIght now I have a banner ad showing a few women's faces and saying "See all members." I assume it's some kind of dating site. And then there's an ad on the side for an anime game.

A campaign to register yourself as Reformed at the upcoming national census with a pregnant lady proudly announcing she's carrying a child for the glory of God.

Yeah, I'm an atheist who was baptized as Catholic, I think I'll pass.

I sure hope so. Regardless, I am not happy with it.

Yeah, I've seen a similar ad. Nothing new.

Dogecoin?!

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Apparently, the TrekBBS thinks I need a SilkySilk nightie

 

[publiusr]

A bike.
The TREKbbs thing must still fool Robby…
I haven’t ridden a bike in 40 years…which explains my far from Adonis-like physique

 

[Oddish]

A T-shirt with alternating big and small letters...

I MADE A
(bogey on every)
HOLE
(and threw my putter)
IN ONE
(of the ponds)

Of course, if I ever managed a bogey on any golf hole, I'd be dancing like an idiot.

 

[Kor]

Amish Country Gazebos. And the Silksilky night gowns.

Sam Ash family-owned music stores. And none are in my state.
