Sports Wagering Sponsors, DRIVING ME NUTS !! - GoFuckYourself.com

Slick · 07-13-2001, 12:17 PM

Hey guys, are any of you getting bugged by Virtual Bookmakers (sports wagering sponsors) from Costa Rica ??

I'm going frickin nuts here. I've had 3 DIFFERENT people call me up, promoting 3 different affiliate programs in the last couple of weeks. The thing is that I try to be nice to them and say that I'll look over their site and see what I think and if I like it, I'll join them, but then they call me back a few days later to followup. Then they have VERY HEAVY accents, so trying to talk to them isn't always the easiest, he he. Then they go on and on about their program.

Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone else has been getting calls from these people or am I just the lucky one, ha ha ha.

ALSO, since most of the visitors to my sites are male, would something like this be good to promote. If people push casinos, would a booking sponsor be a good idea ?? I don't like the fact that they're from Costa Rica though, they could fuck me big time.

Costa Rica seems to be filling up with all sorts of shady deals and scams the last year or two. Give them a big GFY in plain well spoken words and slam the phone down.

Easier to get caller ID and never answer private number, out of area, or unknown calls. Let voice mail get them.

We were getting up to 50 calls a day when we did that and since they never get to talk to us we have been getting dropped from the phone lists or something. Down to maybe 4 calls a day that we don't know on caller ID. Whoo Hoo!

I had my first spam phone call from a sportsbook company this week, though not from Costa Rica. What's wrong with email?

I dropped the telephone number from the details I register domains with, so hopefully that will have some effect in the future...
