Just recieved this email

I got this message again today. i'm used to spam, luckily gmail sends it straight to my spam box, and it is automatically deleated in 30 days if i don't do it myself

If this user got each email individually it must of took them a looooooooooooooooong time to do so.

 

What does this all means then? Who may be the one doing all this?
But luckily I havn't got one yet.

 

Sorry but like Smyrl said, hehas merged my topic with this topic and this is the reason why my post is looking so ;P

 

HI

I got Mail to buy 35000 email id Of DP forum member in $25


What to do is it legal


Thanks

 

Let us know the name/email of that person.

I think only admin/mods have that list and I dont think they would sell it to anybody.
We will investigate over it

 

I got 3/4 mails in within last 7 days, with such offer. So, I am expecting huge spam in my inbox in near future.

 

I've received them as well. The first ones were aol email addys, I'll look when I get home.

 

What is the subject of the email? I'd like to check my gmail spam folder to see if I got it as well

 

I don't think so. Only the owner of digitalpoint would have the legal authority to sell the emails. The mail you (and many others, myself included) received was not from the owner of digitalpoint. I suggest you be very cautious & fully aware of the possible consequences of whatever you do, you can get into serious trouble acquiring & using the list without the owner's authorization.

 

Here what i get.

From headers, I guess mail was sent from ommo.net dsl88-233-6104.ttnet.net.tr

 

SPAM!

It's all SPAM!!​

SPAM!​

to recap:

1) at one point, those who chose to do so, left their email addy exposed for other members to see. there were two options in user CP for email: "hidden" and "DUH, here you go"...I had the latter selected

2) some dirt bag harvested the emails and has since deluged those members with webmaster spam

3) Shawn & Co. have since changed the profiles such that you will not be able to see member's emails...must use a form to contact a member now


but obviously those foolish enough to have their email out in the open (like me)...we are SOL

 

For those members who used a unique email address for DP

if you start getting webmaster spam to that email address I suggest you post the spam mail here, so

1. We will learn who the spammers are
2. It may have an effect on the list being used , since most of the people who purchased it are most likely DP members and will know they will get exposed on here as spammers

Just my 2 cents

pete

 

I got the email - it was in my spam box

 

No i dont mean this email

I mean emails from people who have purchased this list to send unsolicited spam to it.. these emails, are the emails im referring to in the above post.

Looks like the spammers have either sold the list they scraped from DigitalPoint to 'Rapid Response Marketing LLC' (who have shown up in many unsolicited commercial email reports) or they harvested the email addresses themselves.

In any case, 'Rapid Response Marketing LLC' is now sending the following spam to all DigitalPoint users who have had their email address mined from this forum and the URLs I previously mentioned (WHICH STILL LEAK EMAIL ADDRESSES):
