Quote:YOHB: I suggest you copy and paste on the forums at WP. Explain that you are a buyer, this was THE SECOND unsolicited spam from this person -- that you have NEVER done business with this person, and due to the spamming NEVER WILL and will encourage everyone you meet and know, including current Popper contacts you've maintained, to likewise NOT DEAL with this "seller". These boinktards need to be SHAMED by the cult community -- if such a thing is possible. Responding might get you off THEIR list, but it won't help curb this repulsive marketing tactic for anybody else -- either now or in the future. You might further mention that sending spam such as this is now ILLEGAL, and has been reported. Apart from that, it reinforces the notion that WP is an unprofessional, kiddy site full of scammers.

Karen might delete the post -- or she might even praise the "enterprising" efforts of this "seller". Either way, this crap needs to be exposed, otherwise they'll just keep on keeping on -- the email list will get longer and longer. And since the email addresses are public, anybody can pick them up and sell them for profit to scam artists the world over.

Hi A, I'm a :chicken3: . I won't risk being banned by trying to make a point with a group of sellers who would most likely miss it anyway. The post would most likely go poof within seconds as any criticism of the faithful from an unknown source will be considered discourteous. I am hoping enough of them lurk here that our discontent will be passed around.

Thanks regic for the link. I will keep it handy.

Quote:If you follow the links you will learn alot about this seller. In 5 minutes I already know what types of products they are into on eBay (scary thought too check it out and you will see what I mean). This is good advise to follow if you really want to know the truth about WP.

YOHB,

You can back me up on this one. We do this all the time and believe me some of the info we have found is out of this world. It will amaze you how many times you will end up in eBay from following the links through WP. It would make me wonder if I was a buyer shouldn't I have started in eBay in the first place because I seem to end up there quite often.

I can back you up indeed in what you are saying. There are a number of stores on WP with eBay auctiva generated templates, eBay watermarked pictures and links galore to the seller's eBay stores and/or their eBay feedback. These violations of WP policy continue to be ignored but God help you if run a legitimate, LEGAL, store and you try and express an unpopular opinion or ask a sensitive question on the sacramental forum. ZAP!! You are history! Gagamaggot

ANYBODY GOT ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO SHAME THIS SPAMMER? How about putting a link to a super hard core porno site in the spam email and doing a "reply to all."

How about REPLY ALL:

Look Bud... I never bought anything from you... I don't appreciate your SPAM... and I doubt that the others receiving this e-mail appreciate it either... so let's ask them!

Everyone that has received this e-mail... do you want to get mail from this person?? NO?? If you don't want to get spammed anymore please reply to the original sender... let's SPAM them!!
