"test test" spam

I sign up for a program with one specific email address.

I don't promote it for a while and now I'm being spammed offers to sign up for one of the sponsor's site.

I know it's them spamming me because they addressed the email specifically to my real name. For the exception of a few program owners, not very many people in this business have that info.

I won't name anyone...yet. But they know who they are and I say fuck you

Thanks but I think you're missing the point here. Why would a program treat their affiliates like surfers by spamming their sites? It's like saying "you're a webmaster and that's how we got your name but how about you buy some porn from us too?" which is something I find insulting.
