Warrior Members 'spamming' emails

Yes, I have received them too! Two today! I am beginning to be seriously annoyed!!

I haven't subscribed to any mailing list either! I just put them in my spam folder! I am sure that If I go "unsubscribe" from something I have not initially subscribed, I'll get 70 more of these nasty empty emails! Good luck!

Yes I had that recently. I bought one product from someone and then got an email from another vendor who I never bought anything from before. The sad thing is the guy I bought something off is supposed to be a well known and respected marketer. Not by me anymore, he either sold my email or rented it. I unsubscribed straight away of course.

I think generally speaking, overall this problem is getting worse and more widespread and people are hammering their lists with affiliate offers to make money. The crash and burn mentality that Kay King's thread was referring to recently.
Not smart IMO!

Yeah that has happened to me before as well. Seems like they sell their list to others. I just send em to spam.

Yup, getting the same thing. Doesn't matter if I delete them. 5 more so show up. It's very frustrating.

I've always gotten them. I just send them to spam.

Make sure you're marking it as spam, too, if they get too many spam complains they'll lose their mailing accounts. Not that it matters, if they're using throwaways.. Sigh.

Yeah, I've gotten a bunch of spam emails too.

It's gotten so bad I can't even clean 'em all out daily.

Scraped my e-mails from here and my main sites - spam me every day from
half a dozen self hosted mailers, domains with privacy so you can't find out
who they are, dozen different aliases... all the same crap emails.

"Buy crap from my solo ad crap now! Click link below..."

"Oh, you opted into our list so feel like an idiot and opt out
if you want..."

"Your special friend only looking out for you...
Bunny"

Makes me want to puke.

I unsubscribe (if there even is an unsubscribe link)... end up on
three more lists for every one I unsub from.

I mark as junk through rules in my email program - but they keep
changing the from address so I have to create many new rules daily.

Now, I'm forwarding everything to spam@uce.gov - like that's going
to do anything (they claim to get over 15,000 emails a day to the
reporting system minimum).

If I feel particularly frustrated - I forward them to my attorney along
with $300 and he searches their hosting and email providers down
and writes a nice letter. Unfortunately... it's expensive to waste money
just to not get spammed.

You may laugh - but I get over 300 emails a day - no less than 30 are
these idiots who've obviously shared my email around as well.

Why this is practiced or promoted as a way to do business, here as well,
and how this is effective at all - I'll never understand.

All I have to say is "Shame on these people..."

I was noticing that myself in the last few days...

I've started getting email to my Outlook Inbox, titled 'Dear Warrior Forum Member' and pitching all sorts of products.

My guess is some sort of 'scraping' tool trolls through all the posts on this forum grabbing all the emails addresses it can.

There's really no other way that I can see this happening, unless of course there's some sort of list swapping going on

It has been annoying enough receiving multiple emails per day from members from whom I've purchased WSO's all pitching other WSO products.

But this looks like it's all gone to another level

Yes, I did today, and the strange thing is, it was an address that is not associated with this forum.

The only thing I can think that is going on here is some sort of malware, or phishing type deal. I didn't click them because I didn't request them, as it might do something dodgy to my computer if I did.

Bammm!! Another 2! So annoying! Direct to trash!

All coming from different gmail accounts. No way to unsubscribed, and to be frank, its getting annoying.

I here you there Ryan. I've been wondering the same thing lately. Some of the marketers I know but I also know that I didn't purposely get onto their lists.

Also, there is one big-time WF marketer's list I can't unsubscribe from. I have been trying to for months without success. He is located here in the US so I'm surprised that spam doesn't bother him...

Yes got a lot of spam from people scraping my email on the warrior forum.

Worst thing is they tried to pass of as if they were from Warrior Plus system. Very deceitful email subjects (trying to insulate as if product downloads purchased or typical commission spam) as well. Simply reported all of them to spam so they never come in my inbox again. Can't imagine why someone would do that, just pisses others off.

Was surprised initially as I didn't remember subscribing to them, thought maybe it might have been from some products purchased.

Perhaps the Warrior forum can customize a script to automatically turn all email address into image text to avoid those scrapers

I have experienced the same thing. It is very annoying for me but not for the reasons mentioned above. I like to keep abreast of new things and don't mind people alerting me to ground braking products or services that I may not be aware of yet.

However when you spend alot of money ,after being convinced you have bought the one ground breaking traffic suite of tools and methods from say a certain warrior only to get 5 emails a day from that warrior's organisation marketing a million other systems that his or her friends are offering that are now the real answer and better than the offer they sent me just yesterday, I start to doubt the quality of the very system that I purchased from them in the first place.

I had been confident that I had spend £ several hundred putting my traffic system from 5 different providers together each specialising in a particular aspect. I can understand the affiliate concept and I am setting up affiliate marketing efforts as well.

However , there is a way to do this and a way that undermines the credibility of my I initial purchases from those marketers. So after what seemed like the 1000th offer of the new traffic el dorado , I refunded quite a few purchases as well as unsubscribing from their lists but the offers still keep comming only with increasing intensity.

They just will not get any further business from me. No I do not want to buy the new keyword research tool if the two seperate marketers who have been bombarding me that they have twisted the arm of their best bud to put this on the market, are reading this thread.

If you think they are scraping and can identify it as a member of the forum, send the proof to a moderator. Scraping emails like that is against the rules here.

Uh.

You guys may not be familiar with this...

it's called...

brace yourself for this one...

the "UNSUBSCRIBE BUTTON".

There. Problem solved.

Do not pass go. Do not collect a $100.

I've been receiving them too. It is obviously against CAN-SPAM rules but there isn't much we can do. These people just scrape these emails and use illegal spamming that send emails one by one from different gmail addresses (at least the ones I get). So even if you mark one as spam, there'll just be another person there to spam you.

I think one of the problems is that somewhere along the line emails get sold. Half don't even have unsubscribe links, and by the time you you get around to unsubscribing to the ones that do, you are already have thousands in your inbox.

All email addresses will eventually receive spam, it's a given. Curious though, how do you know they came from here? Do they mention WF?

I guess spam does pay well, since they come up with solutions for any security step you take. Even Captcha doesn't stop them on one of my projects.

Robert,

I clicked on your public profile and went to your contact info tab and your email address is right there clear as day for all to see.

You guys need to help yourself first and foremost.

Never list your email address on ANY website. Period. Also don't think putting (at) and (dot) instead of @ and . will prevent anything. All the spam bots and email harvesters know those tricks so the answer is to not put your email address online in any form at all.

If you do you are only asking for these spam emails.

Yes, I know people shouldn't be harvesting emails but lets face it, we all know they do. So if you want to prevent yourself from getting rubbish emails then don't be posting your email address on one of the most visited forums on the Internet.

I got the disgusting emails, The biggest question IS! That how they got our email addresses?

We only gave our email addresses when we signed up On the warrior forum And this leads to another question that do they have access to WF database or someone is giving them access?

I am also getting 20-30 such emails daily , sending them to spam folder.

Mee too...

Seems sending them to Spam folder is the only option...

Gook luck

After reading the messages here, I guess I should consider myself lucky with "only" a couple of these e-mails per day...
I didn't subscribe to anything either. I sent an unsubscribe request to one of them but I have no idea if that will have any effect at all. I just mark them as spam, after some time Thunderbird's filter should recognize them automatically and I won't even see them anymore.

I agree we should out the guys.

I simply mark them as spam and after doing this a few times Gmail always sends them to the spam folder... but still not a solution as they always come back with a new email ID.

I`ve got those annoying emails as well. Some of them don`t have unsubscribe button, some of them, when you click this button, go to a confusing page suggesting such a long process that you wish to quit and forget about that.
