How do you get off the email lists?
« on: August 22, 2005, 02:35:03 PM »
Sites like "Confidential Connections,"  "Russian women videos," do not quit.  I signed up once to check them out and they are relentless.  Luckily "Get married today," eventually stopped their madness.  No matter how many times I tell them I have no need for their "services" they continue to email with bullsheet.   How do I get them to stop the insanity :X???

1>  Get a new email address.

2>  Use a spam blocker (or email client with address blocking)

3>  Stop logging on to the Internet.

Spam, Spam, and more Spam.  Why do you think I have an email addy with this screen name?  To collect my Spam in one easy to discard tin...  :P

Its pretty tough Bruce. I still get spammed even after writing & telling them I am married for crying out loud.

I gave up & got a different e mail addy.

Another thing I was made aware of last week by a freind in Canada whose wife frequents some Russian woman boards, is that someone took my profile, where they got it, I don't know, & posted it with a picture on a Russian Woman seaching for men site along with my picture. I checked it out & that pic & profile is about 4 years old.

I wrote them a letter & asked them where they got it & to remove it as any woman writing to me will never get a reply. I never got a reply from them either, LOL. So don't know yet if they removed it, I'll have to get my friends wife to check that.

Spamming works for a lot of agencies & thats why they do it. You spam out 20,000 letters a day at $5.00 a crack to open & even if only 5% are opened by suckers out there, of which there are plenty, the company just made $5,000!!! Incredible but true. With the right e mail program the spamming is all electronic & if it didn't work for them they wouldn't be doing it. But it does work & that is why the practise will continue. Unfortunatly.

Probably

Deffinetly a money makin' racket though.

Too bad that it is at the exspense of honest operators that have to work hard to prove they are honest because of deadbeats like them.:X

Maybe this agency (fat yurienka) is writing fake letters for you, and they are being answered by a fat yuri thinking you are real. Isn't it touching, a virtual relationship on the web between 2 scammers. Brings a tear to my eye.

Of course you would get many more women writing to you if you updated your profile picture to this one:
