Someone made a mistake.

from JoeUser Forums

I got a lot of spam in my lunchtime emails today.

Someone has decided to be pathetically childish and sign me up for a bunch of newletters and free trials of this that and the other.

It was kind of silly for them to do that, especially from my home email address....because there are only a handful of people who have it.  Most people have my gmail or our family yahoo adresses.

They also made a mistake when they signed me up for a free trial version of something - because when I went to cancel it, I found that because I didn't have the user name and ended up having to call the company.  I explained to them that I didn't sign up for it, and asked if they could tell me the IP address and location of whoever did sign me up for it. 

They can. 

So, now I'm going to call and email the rest of the companies who I got spam from today and see if they can provide me with the same information. 

It's going to be interesting to see where these fraudulent applications have come from (and yes, they are fraudulent). 

Anyone else have an idea who could be doing this?  I think that we ought to start taking bets as to which city and state the IP address will show up as originating in....

It's obviously the doings of someone on bad drugs..... quite a sick, and downright childish thing to do... but needless to say, she will deny it and blog about it in her secluded lil thread

D..

You know sometimes it is worse to make assumptions about this sort of thing without knowing for sure.

I have an instinct that your gonna be a little surprised about all of this. Sometimes there are people on here who may be not who they say they are to you. And this is ****** [Edited by Moderator]. There are people im sure who are loving this flame, and will keep it going for their own sick pleasure.

Look at the people fueling the flames.

Im Guessing This Is From That Blog Site.
I Really Don't Think That Company Is Going To Lumber Through Server Logs With Thousands If Not Milllions Of User IP's, Just To Find Out Who Signed Who Up. Or Do a Whois To Find Out Location.
Even If They Did, There's Every Chance This Person Used a Proxy Server.

Better Yet, Use Spam Filters.

death to the infidel spam monkeys. May they die a thousand deaths, each more creative than the last. My preference, given my latest hobby is execution by smelting in molten aluminum.

Such a lovely thing to happen to my family....that my children answer the phone (that's been ringing off the hook btw) and someone asks for "Mrs Douche-ier".  That's nice, really classy.

Naw, I'm not that bad.

I did, and I've changed my phone number.  I'm in the process of changing my email address, and I'll probably have to change my cell phone number too.  I have a spam filter, I just liked not having to use it every day.

Yeah, me too....

I wasn't referring to your comments D-girl - rather the cussing going on.

(You think WOW would just type normal!)

Whoever did this to you really needs to get a life and stop intruding on yours. Best of luck in shunning this intruder.

Yeah, I know...I just wish I didn;t have to deal with this now!  We're supposed to be having a good time together before D leaves....not having to deal with this garbage.

I know you were, babe.....I was just saying that the whole scene is not very nice.

Apparently not, Mason.

Thanks, sweetie!  I'll get over it eventually.....

That's what I'm finding....


If it were me, I would suspect a co-worker. Thats just me though.
No-one I work with has my home email address. They only have my gmail and my government account. The only thing my home address gets used for is for paying bills and purchasing things (and those have all been on secure servers). There are three people that I (used to) correspond with using my home account, so I'm thinking that it's one of them.

When you moved you sent a mass email to a few people telling them your new home address. I have the CC.

Just so you know I don't have the tech savy or the bitterness to do anything like that.
And so far as I know I've only seen one person use that word in reference to another blogger. (and it wasn't Sabrina)

No, I know you wouldn't do anything like that....and Myrrander doesn't have my home email address, or my home phone number. He only has my yahoo and gmail. Like I said, there are three people who use that address to email me about things other than bills and payments. Oh nope, I take that back...there are four. So, four people.

That word, that phrase, was used on LW's thread, just so you know.

WOW Factor - I've seen you type normal in other threads. Why must you continue to irritate others by capalizing every word? To me it seems counter productive as when you type it means hitting the shift key more than you need to. Also it shows that your grammar skills are lacking. Please just type normal.
