    Why is DP sending me spam? I am disgusted that DP is taking the list of members and sending them spam from the "keywords team" and requesting payment from paypal for a list of keywords. Pathetic. Your keyword team needs to be banned from DP and don't think of starting a new one.

    Here's the email:

    Arun Chandran (hifiweb@gmail.com) would like to be paid through PayPal.
    Money Request Details
    Amount: $14.95 USD
    Event Date: Jan. 9, 2005
    Note: Hello,

    What makes you think it's from us? It's from a member here that was already banned (twice). Your best option would be to turn off the ability for other members to email you.

    Because he says it's a deal from DP and the Keyword Team. The utter gall of demanding payment through paypal is staggering.

    Trust me, it's no deal we have with them. They have been banned for spamming users.

    Report him to his host for spamming; report him to yahoo because you "thought the spam came from them" see if that does anything.

    Put his link on a webpage with Spammer as the anchor text.....

    but don't blame dp.

    I just got an e-mail from paypal asking for $14.95 USD.

    Went to paypal logged in and reported a spam/fraud titled "spam request for money" with the web site and full source of e-mail.

    Hope fully paypal will ban them or worse. :mad:

    Paypal is unlikely to act on 1 report so I urge others to do the same.

    I wouldn't say I was crying like a baby, but when I read the content of my e-mail from this jerk, I was livid. I have never had one with "money request details", and implying that I owe money, neckie b@st@rd!!

    It must say that I realised it was a spammer, so no hard feeling to DP, and having run a forum on seahorses, we used to get this crap all the time and no-one knew we even existed!!!
