Extra spam since VS has our email addys?

Tmall · 11-30-2008, 03:29 PM

I went from practically no spam, to about 10 a day since VS got access to my email.

So, I made a nice one along the lines of verticalscopemolestschildren@hotmail.com and changed my address on CF to it. That's the only place that it will ever be used. Let's see how long it takes before I get spam in that one..

I get bullshit from them all the time. They took over several forums I've been on in the past and I always get those shitty..."Marko138 we miss you" emails. Fuckers.

No, but I got a really strange one, not really junk because I bought from this company before so I never blocked them, but this one I actually had to read twice....

T-Shirt Hell's Black (people) Friday Sale

No, we're not actually selling black people! Selling young blonde girls is far more lucrative! Besides, there's never been a better time to be a black person in America. Barack Obama is in the White House and black folks are moving from Main Street to Easy Street without having to lift a finger.

That's why we’d like to do our part for the new ruling class with our T-Shirt Hell's Black (people) Friday Sale by offering 30% off to all of our black customers. Just use the coupon code IMBLACK when checking out. Make sure to include some specific details in the comments area on the final page of the cart that prove you are black, and not just someone who is looking for a discount (like a Jew).

The sale will run through Sunday, November 30th at midnight EST. So hurry and tell your black friend!

That's hilarious!

You guys are right about VS not spamming, but what are the odds they aren't selling email lists?

This is what I was leaning towards.

I don't worry about it as my email addy points to a 10-year email address I don't use anymore. I made sure I changed it the day they took over.

Their policy doesn't say they won't sell it... that usually means they WILL sell it.

I got the same email. I love the last line: tell your black friend. Singular. One black friend.

I'll have them know I have TWO black friends!

I doubt that the spam is coming from VS. It's coming because Christmas is a month away. Spam always increases around this time of year and mine has doubled.
