Category: Main -> I've Been Getting SPAM from You

Question

Answer

I've been getting emails from you recently. I didn't sign up for anything on your site.

A: Well, that's unlikely because we send messages out to people that are registered in our database. Either that, or someone signed up with the same email as you -- and that IS possible because we have been around for many years.

Q: How is this possible?


A: Suppose I have the email address "Superstar (at) hotmail (dot) com, and it's the year 1999. Then, I visit this wonderful website called "MediaSyndicate" and I join their mailing list. THEN, I let my email address (heaven forbid) EXPIRE, and someone else signs up for the same email address. Well, when WE mail them, we're actually mailing YOU. This is, albeit a very rare occurence (if ever), but theoretically, it's possible.

Q: But I've had this email address since the Al Gore was in diapers.


A: Well, then you signed up on our site. We have a DOUBLE-OPT-IN policy meaning you sign up, and then we email you to confirm that you signed up.

Q: But I never heard of you.


A: Might have also been through one of our other websites... as far back as 1998... bottom line is WE DO NOT SPAM. And, all our emails come with an unsubscribe link, so if you don't want emails from us... unsubscribe and you'll never ever get another email from us ever again... Sorry for the inconvenience.
